because a girl i didn’t know passed away, and she was loved by people i love.
because her husband of three months, who knew the likely outcome, had faith that the end of mortality is not the end of life.
because kelly said that she didn’t know how she would ever survive if she lost dylan, and i was so glad he had found someone who felt that way about him.
because i wonder if i will ever find someone who feels that way about me.
because i still miss my last boyfriend.
because i saw the look of innocence and wonder on the faces of countless children, as the santa behind me on the escalator shouted ‘ho ho ho,’ and i wished for some of that innocence and wonder.
because in preparing for this weeks gospel doctrine lesson on daniel, it struck me that courage is the greatest characteristic any of us can possess. it takes courage to have faith. it takes courage to hope. it takes courage to sacrifice. it takes courage to get out of bed each morning, not knowing if the day will bring you joy or pain.
because i am better today than i was yesterday, and that is something.
