Glued
March 25th, 2008 by Kateastrophe
Saturday was an amazing day. Maybe the most amazing day, with the exception of the day I married Matt. Saturday I was sealed for time and all eternity in the Temple of the Lord to my mom, sister and my dad-and-a-half. It’s hard to describe the feeling as I knelt across the alter from my sister Meagan, with Mom in my left and Lucas (Meagan’s husband) on my right, acting as proxy for Mike. It’s hard to describe the joy I felt as the sealer proclaimed us a family forever.
There was a touch of sadness because my brothers weren’t there, but that’s OK. They have found happiness and joy, and I’m proud of everything they’ve overcome in their lives and the men they’ve become. Even though they’re not technically “sealed” to the rest of us, I know that they’ll be with us for eternity no matter what.
My dearest friend Sheila and her mom Janet, who happens to be my mom’s dearest friend as well, were able to be there with us and that was amazing as well. They have been such a big part of our family for as long as I’ve been alive (and before, I’m sure) and we love them dearly.
I wish there were more to say and describe to you about what happened, but that really sums it up. We’re glued. It’s amazing.

Dude - I am so happy for you! And…I just realized that starting off my comment with ‘dude’ isn’t really the correct tone for such a touching post. Anyway, you know what I mean - lovely story, what an incredible experience, I can only imagine. I must say, how cool that we can be with our families forever? Love this Gospel. Congratulations!!
