I look back at the last four years and all that we have been through since the experience with my second pregnancy. Life has a way of teaching us lessons. Getting from point A (July 5, 2005) to where we are now has been an adventure, and I don't think we'd trade it for anything.
One day I want to sit in the Celestial Kingdom and have my loved ones surrounding me. I long for the day when I can embrace my sweet brother again and never have to say good-bye. I miss him so much on a daily basis that I can barely breathe. There is so much I want to say to him. Just being able to see his cute smile and hear his laugh again is enough motivation to send me to Hell and back...if it means that I've been refined enough to be with him and the rest of my family forever.
We don't get to that point in our eternal progression with out experiencing heart ache. Often times, immense heart ache. I think about what Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ endured during their mortal lives. If I am ever to attain salvation equal to their own I have to endure pain too. But with that pain comes indescribable joy. And so I sit here and I think of meeting this new baby boy, who is likely in the company of his Uncle Joseph at the moment.
The thought of meeting and holding a spirit so fresh from Heaven brings me to tears. I can't wait. 10 more days!!!

I can still hear Joseph's laugh whenever I think about him. It seems like that's all I have left. But one day I can have more.
