Had a "Kathryn day." When I got to church I was asked if I would say a few words during Primary about Kathryn and the resurrection. I am always happy to talk about her, so of course I agreed. Jr. Primary got a crying, blubbering mess. I held it together a little better for Sr. Primary. Then in Relief Society I got to sit next to a brand new baby. The whole room seemed to be filled with that new baby smell, which was both wonderful and heartbreaking. My dear ward family recognized my struggle and gave me even more hugs than normal. Tonight I spent a little time with Kathryn's box. I didn't get very far - I smelled her blanket and read 2 letters from family members, cried for a little while, then put the box away. I feel good. Sometimes crying over her is the best thing for me.
Crying is definitely good for the soul!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a Kathryn box. I taught sharing time on that day, it suggested I bring someone from the ward in, but instead I decided to talk about Sam. I'm glad you got to talk about Kathryn. I agree that sometimes it's good to have a good cry. I would rather cry and feel broken hearted than feel nothing at all.
