Today is the 31st anniversary of the death of my sister, Robin. We went as a family to visit her grave this year, and it was really special. All of her nieces and nephews were there, but we were missing Mom, Dad, Matt and Jen. It was a neat thing to get together and talk a little bit about what we think Robin would have been like, who she would have married, where she would live... Things like that. It was also an opportunity to talk about the Plan of Salvation and that we will see her again, and she is alive on the other side of the veil. I feel like I have a special connection with my sister, although I didn't meet her in this life. I am so blessed to have the family I do, and such wonderful parents and siblings. My brothers and sisters have married wonderful people as well who I feel as close to as if we were blood related. I am so grateful for the support and love that seems to abound in our family, and am so glad we have the blessing of eternal families!
