I'm so glad you were able to talk through some of those hard things. It's good for people to see what you went through those 15 months so we can better understand and support you today. <br />Also, when I first read on Instagram that you had a new special someone in your life, I was shocked and a little skeptical, but then I took the time to read your blog about it and it just all makes sense. I'm really genuinely happy for you and I'm so thankful you have someone at your side to support you and give you a second chance at a happy ending :)<br />Much love,<br />Randie Megan<br />thegraefs.blogspot.comRMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689612695415656377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825683437599074471.post-79144069700465152442016-10-06T02:24:30.098-06:002016-10-06T02:24:30.098-06:00My heart leaps for you in gladness! Congratulation...My heart leaps for you in gladness! Congratulations to you Emily and your sweet children. When you talk about the growing bubbles, i'm reminded of a Neal A. Maxwell quote<br /><br /> "The enlarging of the soul requires not only some remodeling, but some excavating. Hypocrisy, guile, and other imbedded traits do not go gladly or easily, but if we “endure it well” (D&C 121:8), we will not grow testy while being tested.<br /><br />Moreover, we find that sorrow can actually enlarge the mind and heart in order to “give place,” expanded space for later joy." 😘❤Mandi Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488161634656866707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825683437599074471.post-18420662526815531682016-10-06T01:06:12.719-06:002016-10-06T01:06:12.719-06:00Wishing you, Richard and the kids the best.

My 5 year...You are an incredible example to us all. My 5 year old son was diagnosed with Leukemia back in March. And then 4 months later, my father-in-law suddenly and unexpectedly passed away at 64 and we moved the week of his funeral. It felt like life through everything at us in 4 1/2 months. But through the pain and heartache and confusion, I felt the most intense love, gratitude and blessings. I know that God never leaves us alone. He gives us trials to mold us into who He wants us to be. I never knew I had this much strength to go through anything like this before. I admire and look up to you for sharing your story and for your authenticity. I am so glad to see you moving forward with life while still honoring Martin.
