Cry Baby

Today I was doing really well until Sunday School when the teacher asked if we would like to share a conference talk that has personally touched us. I recalled the night when Mario told me about his deployment. I had trouble sleeping that night. During that short time I did sleep, I had a dream that I needed to read Ann Dibbs' (President Monson's daughter) talk titled "Hold On." I knew in my sleep that her talk would bring me comfort. It also brought me even greater peace because that showed me that Heavenly Father was well aware of me and that he loved me and would help me through this.

I shared this with the class and before I knew it I was crying like a big baby. I finally regained my composure and went to Relief Society where the first person I saw said, "Hi, I heard your husband was leaving for awhile." I don't think this would normally make me cry, but because I had just been crying in Sunday School, it started my tears again.

I again regained my composure and was fine until my phone rang after church. It was a brother from the ward that I had never met before. He was calling to say to please call him if I needed anything at all. He has deployed twice and his wife received a lot of help while he was gone. Now he was looking for an opportunity to pay that back. I hung up the phone and thanked Heavenly Father for looking out for our family.
