It's time for me to write to you again. It's been a really long time since the last time I wrote to you. And I think that's because whenever I think about you my heart aches. I wanted to share a story that happened in the temple the other day.
Your dad and I were doing initiatory in the temple, and some of the women I saw in the temple reminded me a lot of Grandma Sherwood. My heart yearned for her, and I truly missed her. I wished that I could see her again and I wanted to hug her and tell her I loved her. Just a few moments later, I started thinking about you, my children, and I felt sad that you haven't come to me yet. And then I quickly realized that the feelings I was feeling when I thought about you, were the same feelings I felt about Grandma Sherwood. They were feelings of missing somebody I already knew, and wanting to see them again. Then I heard one of you say to me..
"Don't cry mamma. I'm coming".
I know that you're coming sweet children, and I miss you. I know that I knew you before I came to Earth and I know that I'll see you again soon.
Your daddy and I have decided to look for you through adoption. We feel like you have a special birth mommy who will give birth to you and be a part of your life, but who will help you find us so we can raise you. We don't know your birth mommy yet, but we sure do love her. It takes courage to be a birth mommy and we know you'll have an amazing one.
We love you kids. We're so excited to see you and to meet you in this life. Thank you for sending down comfort and strength when we need it.
With all my love,
Mommy.
