We have thought of you non stop. We know that Kyla's spirit will help you not only now but in the future. She obviously is an elect spirit and you are special people to have had her. We love you, The Anderson's Crystal Serr Jones crystaljones44@yahoo.com Brian, I found out about your little girl through Brian Wood and just felt like I needed to let you know that you and your wife are in our prayers. I had a close friend of mine lose her daughter recently and asked her what I could even say; I guess there really isn't anything. I am so sorry and if you need anything please let us know. My friend, Stacy, has a blog where she openly talks about everything and the pain she is going through, if you would like I would be more than willing to give that to you and/or your wife. "Grieving is hard work. It takes all my energy everyday. I have good days, bad days, foggy days, clear moments, pure moments, grateful moments, angry moments, doubtful moments, sad moments, and so on. I see life so differently now. I think eternally a lot more than I used to. Not just about Janie, but about life in general. I am constantly relying on the gospel to comfort me, trying to use the atonement to heal me, thinking about our Father in Heavens' plan for each of us, and trying to hold onto the truths that make getting up in the morning a little less painful. I think about the preexistence, and wonder what I understood when this plan was offered. I like to think I knew and still accepted. Because if my two choices in this case were to have Janie, but loose her eight weeks later and have to go through this experience, or not have her at all and let her go to someone else, I chose right! I am thankful for her. I am even proud of her. I love her. I am honored that I will be able to raise her. She is worth the wait." Stacy Rogers Cassidy (Clement) Clark Cassidy@CassidyClark.com Brian and Kasey, I can not even begin to imagine what you are both going through at this difficult time. I am so sorry.
