So recently while looking at the calender, I noticed that my son Davis, who past away last year,birthday falls on the day of thanksgiving! So for the last month and a half I have been dreading the day! I have been thinking about what a horrible day to celebrate. A day of thanksgiving, but also a reminder that I won't have my son with me on his 2nd birthday! But as I was reading some qoutes from Elder Niel A. Maxwell, I came across one that says.. “The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain.” So although right now, it may seem otherwise,for me, I know that he will be with me always,in spirit,untill we meet again. And instead of mourning on that day, I will do what we are to do on that day. I will give thanks for the time he was here with me. And for these precious boys that I have been blessed with to raise! So thursday the 26th of november will be a day of not only food,celebration,and pumpkin pies but also a day of remembering all the many things that I am truely Thankful for!!! And a Happy birthday to my son Davis Elaisa Nathan Hola!...... Untill we meet again
