This is Gary.  Tonight I happened to stumble across Amy's blog completely by accident.  Actually, I don't think it was an accident at all...  I believe that it was by an absolute miracle and a tender mercy that I was able to discover her blog.   I was working at home on my new MacBook Pro Laptop that only I have used and I was typing my website url into the address bar when the browser autocorrected to this blog.  I had known that amy had started a blog and had even read a few posts from it that she had shared with me at the time.  But I had completely forgotten about it and wouldn't have even known what it was called or how to find it.   I know for a fact that no one has been to her blog on any computer in our house or at work for over 4-1/2 years and I don't think that I even still own any computers that are still working that would have ever visited her blog.   I don't have any explanation as to why or how my browser would have auto-corrected to this blog but it did.   Thanks Amy!!! and Heavenly Father!   It is wonderful to feel your presence especially close to us every once in a while.

After finding the blog, We read every single post out loud as a family.   The kids loved to remember the stories that Amy had shared and it was special for us to get to read some of the thoughts and memories that amy had recorded.   We laughed and reminisced about many of those memories and felt the Spirit as it once again testified to us of the ties that we have beyond the veil.  I am so grateful for this sweet tender mercy and for the love that the Lord shows us in little ways throughout our life.  I know that he lives and I know that we will be able to be together with Amy someday but it is especially sweet knowing that she is not far away, even if we can't see her.  I was totally surprised and impressed that Amy had written as regularly and as often as she did and am so grateful for this priceless treasure.
