Just a picture and short note for you on Easter..
{Written by Jilly for Mormon.org}
When I became deathly ill 1 month after my husband and I were married in
the temple, I really gained a new love and respect for my Savior. I
was heartbroken thinking that I was going to leave my new eternal
companion and spent hours and hours on my knees begging him to save me
so I didn't have to leave my sweetheart. It was after a particular
surgery where in recovery the nurses kept telling the doctor's that they
were losing me. I had a very special experience where I knew that I
had the option to choose to live, or return home to my Father in Heaven. God was going to let me either come
home and be out of pain or give me the chance to go back and live with
my husband but continue to suffer. He let me know that he would be with
me, but it would be painful. All I cared about was being with my
husband if even for 1 more day. I instantly woke up in screaming pain,
and have struggled with my health for the last 3 years of our marriage,
but he kept his promise. I'm alive and I wake up every day to see my
sweet husbands face, and for that I am eternally grateful. That is why
my Savior, Jesus Christ, is important to me.
