I remember clearly we sat in front of John and Millie Morris. I had never had the opportunity to baptize anyone before and Pastor Richard afforded me the opportunity. Tyler Webb, Miliahlah Specht and others were baptized that day. Following service we went to Ichiban for lunch then back to my home at Wellongate to part ways. Joyanna and Landen gave to me their present of a green handbag and a Audrey Hepbern movie but best of all a very sweet card... Then we parted tearfully... I wander how things would have been different had I known that was the last I would receive a firm, reassuring hug from my best brother? How would I have reacted had I known I would never see that cute little Saturn roll to the front of my home again? How would I have been able to handle knowing this would be the last time in person? The Heavenly Father knew I would not of been able to handle this... This is why I didn't know and this is why I handle every moment with fullness.
I miss Landen so very much and some days it seems as though he existed in another lifetime but days like today are but reality that he did exist in this lifetime and is gone.
