Five years ago today, my uncle Ben went "up the trail and around the bend" after a long battle against cancer. I remember the night that my family gathered on the couch and read my grandpa's email explaining that there was no longer any thing the doctors could do to help Ben. My dad never cries, but the night that we read about Ben's diagnosis, I remember that he cried as he stumbled through that email. We all cried that night.
But Ben is not gone forever. We will see him again. I feel so blessed to know that and that this life does not end when we die here on earth. Because of the Plan of Salvation, we are able to live with are families forever and there is nothing more special to me than knowing that. I am so grateful that my parents were married and sealed for time and all eternity in the temple so that we can stick together forever and ever. I am so grateful for this crew and the unlimited amount of love and support they have always given to me. Families are awesome. And forever.
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and be not afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation" -2 Nephi 22:2
Cancer sucks.
Cancer sucks.
Love, Caitie
