Ed and Nanette Whiting Family

We love the Christmas season in our family and are sad to see it go. This year we were able to all be together (all married kids, grandkids and 1 son ready to go on his mission, the only one not physically here was his twin that is our on his mission and was able to talk to us Christmas morning for 3 hours.)
We feel this is a season that reminds us how blessed we are. It helps us reflect upon the Savior, the Atonement and the importance it plays in all our lives and the spirit of giving.
We are so grateful for our beliefs of knowing where we came from, why we are here and where we will go after death. We gladly meet this challenge even when life can be tough because we know though our Temple marriage we call all be sealed to eachother forever and this in itself can bring peace to the soul. We want to share to others suffering with lost ones and troubles in their life that though "life" is not always easy, the Lord is willing to lighten our yoke and maybe there are things that can't or won't change, but the peace in our minds can and also can the welcome support of friends and family being ready to give and be there for you.. We so need eachother. I wouldn't know what to do without those that have met my needs in times of trouble which are mostly simply the respect of "listening" and letting me figure out what it is that I need to do to improve my own situation. I am so grateful! I hope we all learn to be more grateful for each little thing in our lives. When we do, it grows and more and more positive comes our way because we recognize more and more positive.
I love to chat and be friends. I have my dear late mom's trait of loving to talk.
To all my family and friends, "I love you dearly".......as I do all!
