This post is going to be short and sweet. My uncle recently wrote an article in the ensign about my cousin who died of liver cancer when she was 8. Here's the article http://www.lds.org/ensign/2013/02/lifting-the-hands-which-hang-down?lang=eng it seriously amazes me how strong this family is. I can't imagine losing a daughter let alone a spouse so close to each other. Even after all this loss my uncle still finds ways to give back. He's set up a whole foundation for childhood cancer, He's written a book about his loss (which is another good read by the way) called dragonfly wings for Emmalee, and he still finds time to be a great dad.
Let me just recommend reading the article if you've ever lost someone in your life, whether or not they were a close family member or someone you hardly knew. Also, do me a favor and go check out his Facebook page dragonfly wings for emmalee. Totally worth 10 seconds of your time. If you want to do me two favors, go ahead and like the page. Thanks!
Ps I would never tell people to go "like" a facebook page unless I meant it and really thought it could help someone out. Thanks again all 6 readers of mine!!!
Great Article! Thanks for the reccomendation!
