Wow, have I really not posted here in two years? Is that possible? I guess it really is. Life got busy and the blog got pushed to the back of priorities. Also, I find that sometimes it is hard to put all my thoughts in writing these days. I am truly blessed in so many ways. And yet, still carry such sadness inside from losing Emily, that I feel guilty for having those moments of sorrow. She would want us to carry on and be happy. And most days we do. But there are still those times when myself, or Kevin, or Stephen just really hurt with the deep grieving we still feel. I suspect her older brother and sister have those moments too, even though they don't talk about it too often.
But alas, time keeps moving on. So do we. Life happens. And the last two years have been good. No doubt about that. We finalized Sophia's adoption over a year ago. She is growing strong and healthy despite those "know it all" doctors! Joshua's adoption will be finalized October 2, 2015. The delay on his finalization is another story for another post! But let's just say we are happy, happy to finally make him an official little Mason in a few weeks!
Our family remains strong. Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ remains strong. We look forward to continuing to grow our family (hopefully through some grandkids one of these days!) seeing what our future holds.
I have renewed my commitment to posting more often here. Hopefully some of you will be interested in hearing from us! If not, well, maybe the kids and grandkids will enjoy the journaling some day!
Welcome to the Mason Family Blog. Our story, our family, our happiness and our sorrows. Our journey through earthly life with all the joy and all the pain and all the faith and love needed until we return to Heavenly Father's loving arms....
"When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequalities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance." -Elder David A. Bedmar
