My response to Danielle's wonderful post!

Dearest Danielle,

I want you to know how much I love you. I know that our Father in Heaven will bless us with children (whether they be adopted or by you getting pregnant or both). I also know that you are going to be an AMAZING MOTHER SOME DAY (I hope that day is very, very soon)! I love you so much, and I will NEVER, EVER FORGET THE MOMENT THAT WE HAD IN THE SAN DIEGO TEMPLE IN Sep 2008. It is a very sacred experience for us, so I will not go into depth here. But I know that you know what I am referring too.

Above all the most important thing that we can do, no matter how difficult it has been (and will be) is to keep our faith in the Lord very strong!!

We have been through so many difficult trials during the past almost five years now. However, I could not imagine having to go through them with anyone else. I know that w/o you in my life my personal struggles would have been 10 Billion times more difficult!

I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us to have a family. I know that soon it will become a reality. I know that if we stay strong and grow closer to each other and the Lord through these experiences, that we will be together forever in eternity with many children and loved ones!

I Love you so much and am so grateful that I have had you in my life these past 7 months. As I don't even want to imagine how much more difficult times would've been without your beautiful smiling face in my life everyday!!

Thank you for being such an amazing and strong Daughter of God!

Though I wish I could do something so that you would never have to feel this way again. Just remember when times get tough like this again and your having another difficult night, that your loving Savior knows exactly what you're going through. He knows your pain and heartache. He knows how you feel when you hear that someone else is having another baby (though you are happy for them, it also may make you sad for us). Above all else he wants you to allow him to take that pain from you, he wants to either lighten your burdens (whether they be physical or emotional ones) or he wants you to allow him to strengthen you (which is what he normally does) so that you can bare that particular burden. I promise you that the next time you are having a difficult night like this one, if you drop to your knees and pour out your heart & soul to your Heavenly Father that he will be there for you. He loves you and it hurts him so to see you in pain.

I just want to say again, that I KNOW that we will have children some day soon. I do not know if it will be from you becoming pregnant or from the Miracle of Adoption. However, I do know that we will become parents together in this life! I know it just as sure as I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that he restored the Church of Jesus Christ to the earth again.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I WENT TO INSTITUTE IN EUGENE, OR ON 3 JULY 2005! I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I WOKE UP THAT MORNING, THE LIFE CHANGING IMPACT THAT ATTENDING SACRAMENT MEETING WAS GOING TO HAVE! I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for bringing us together!
