Life is Fragile

I'm having "a moment" right now...as Conner and I like to call it. I'm just so thankful for the life that we live. A man in our ward passed away this morning. He was a young man who has been battling cancer for a long time. He left a brave wife and two teeny tiny kids behind...it just breaks my heart. Being married really opens my eyes to how hard it would be to lose a spouse. I really don't think I could be as strong as his wife has been; she is an amazing example. I have never been so thankful for the Plan of Salvation. I know that I will be with my family forever. I can't think of a more comforting feeling. I'm crying as I think of how lucky we are to have little moments with our friends and family. Conner and I sometimes find ourselves wishing that we were further along in school, or further along in our careers. For some reason, we think this would bring us greater happiness. Our prophet Thomas S. Monson once quoted someone saying,"Live only for tomorrow, and you will have a lot of empty yesterdays today." We are trying to every day to be thankful for all of the many blessings that we have. Being positive about things we have to do today, has really helped us be more positive about the things to come!
