November 4th, 2011 marked the 5th anniversary of the passing of my brother Dave. We all miss him so much. I have to constantly remind myself that he is incredibly happy where he is and that even though we wish he were here with us, he watches from above and we can all feel our love for one another. With that in mind, rather than visiting his grave on the 5th, we decided as a family to go to the temple and do sealings. After all, the knowledge of an eternal family is what brings us our greatest peace and we hoped to provide that for others.
Not wanting to share too much of that special day, I will simply say it was perfect. We had an incredible experience full of overwhelming joy and I could truly feel David there. To have all of my siblings, my parents, and my husband in the same room was just wonderful.
I hope my loved ones know that I have a very strong testimony of eternal families. That as long as we are living up to our covenants, we can live with one another forever and I can't imagine anything more important. I love you Dave.
