One year to my sweet Hoss

The second day of February is a day that will be in my memory forever. You came into my life and I will ever be so grateful you chose me to be your mom. The spirit was strong that day and I knew our Heavenly Father had a great assignment for you. I knew that you were very special! I will never forget before you left this earth, as you looked up at me and your dad and smiled, telling us that everything will be okay and that you love us very much. 

This past year has had its challenges for sure. I didn't know if I could make it. I missed bringing you home from the hospital and all the milestones along the way. Then I would have an uplifting moment from you "tender mercy" to know everything would continue to be okay and things will work out. I have seen you in my dreams and you are still sharing your smile with me. I know you are with me everyday. 

Hoss, your big brother misses you very much! Your sisters pray for you daily. I am amazed how you have already strengthened your siblings testimonies at such a young age. It proves to me the dedicated missionary work you are doing on the other side and it must be great! Thank you for your wonderful example to me! I want to serve more in your memory. I know I will still have some tough days ahead, but you are my push to keep going and pressing forward. I want to make each day the "Greatest Day Ever!" And without my knowledge of a Forever Family it would be a lot harder. Thank you Hoss, for choosing me and our family and blessing us that 4hrs and 47min on that second day of February. 💙
