behind.<br \/>\nit seriously breaks my heart over + over + over imagining how someone could do something so awful to such perfect little beings.<br \/>\ni don&#8217;t think we will every truly know the why&#8217;s behind all of it, but i know without a doubt that heavenly father will bless these families.<br \/>\nhe is mindful of our every need + will never leave our side.<br \/>\nthe gospel is very real + it is extremely reassuring in trying times like these.<br \/>\ni know, without a doubt, that these little angels are in a better place.<\/p>\n<p>jon has encouraged me to look for the positive.<br \/>\nto find ways in my own life to appreciate motherhood on a deeper level.<br \/>\nto be a little more patient, a little more kind + to be sure that jonah always knows how much i love him.<br \/>\nit is my prayer that we will all find the peace + comfort we need in the hard times to come.<br \/>\n_____________________________________________________________________________<br
