Remember this little ditty from our jump roping days on the playground...

The steamboat has a bell
ding ding
The steamboat went to heaven
Miss Suzie went to Hell-o...

Help! What is the rest? My friend Antone called wanting me to remember this song from grade school and of course I COULDN'T because I have a crap memory. But Stella did - she's spending the night with us tonight (T.C's "adopted" daughter in the 3rd grade). Anyone else remember it???

October is Baby Loss Remembrance Month, so look for walks and candle light ceremonies near you - or start one of your own!

The last weekend of April we went to Payson for a family retreat with Hospice. It's specifically for families who have recently lost a loved one. It was a great, positive time. The kids thrived wtih other kids who have had to look at death. Ironically, there was a nurse there who had, 25 years ago, lost a son to SIDS. She still cried when she shared about it. I was thankful for her. I was thankful for everyone, their honesty. We are all on a struggle together, no matter the loss we face. The retreat is held twice a year if you are interested.

"...and the infant perisheth not that die in his infancy..." Mosiah 3:18

"The Lord takes many away even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon have them again."

"All children are redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the moment that children leave this world, they are taken to the bosom of Abraham."- The first LDS Prophet, Joseph Smith, said this. Whether or not he was inspired spiritually, he was a father who lost babies as well. He had a stillborn son, twins die at birth, and a baby die in infancy. Somehow, thinking of his family's losses and perseverance gives me comfort.

"And in that day...there shall be no sorrow because there is no death.

"In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;

"And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious.

"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things-"

Doctrine and Covenants 101:29-31
