Skylar's Beautiful Message

I know its kinda long but read it if u get a free moment.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here on a mission.  i realized something very important to me yesterday.  i have learned so much while i have been on my mission, i knew the Plan of Salvation was something very important to everyone but now i have found why it is important to me.  it used to be just another lesson that i taught as a missionary but is is so more than that.  i miss aunt Glenda a whole lot and would have given anything to see her one last time.  

I have realized though that she is so taken care of.  i never meet my Grandpa but i know that him and Glenda are together and are so happy to be with each other.  And that they are also doing so many good things together.  There have been so many scriptures that have been running through my head lately that have been helping me so much.  one that i have always look over and now is so important to me is Mosiah 16:7-8.  Even though aunt Glenda is gone from us Physically she is still here with us,  so is Grandpa.  one thing that i have learned is that the Spirit world is not a separate thing it is here all around us and even though we cant see them they are always here with us.  They never left us or are gone they are still here we just cant see them but we sure as heck can feel there spirits.  Ever since i found out Aunt Glenda was gone i have had a feeling that she isn't gone she is still here and is not alone.  me thinking she was alone was hard for me to grasp because i didn't want that for her but she is with Grandpa.  i wish i would have gotten to know Grandpa but i know he is looking out for me and helping me.  The awesome thing about it is that i have 3 grandpas that love me and look out for me now :).  

Having Glenda gone is very sad but the more i have thought about it the more i realize its what the family needs.  we have had allot of family members that have gone astray and it breaks my heart.  Hopefully Aunt Glenda being gone will spark something for everyone and they can feel the Spirit and get life on track again.  this is a hard time for everyone but i think this is a great thing for all of us to learn from and gain a stronger testimony, or to gain one period.  It sucks that it had to happen to our Family and to Aunt Glenda but i feel like she would want us to take advantage of this opportunity to help our family members out and grow allot closer together.  

So i just want everyone to know how important Aunt Glenda was to me personally.  Knowone knows this but i was really scared to go on a mission and i was seriously doubting on not going and was sacred that i didn't know enough.  And i didn't know enough but i had to learn fast.  but Aunt Glenda really helped me out more than i could have ever imagined.  having her telling and offering to support me was a great blessing and helped me go on a mission and stay on one as well.  i wish o would have told her that in person but she knows now and thats all that counts.  i am so grateful for Her and all the love she showed me, Aunt Glenda has changed my life by her wonderful example and all the things she did for me big and small they all add up and have changed me so much and all for the better.

Glenda's Funeral

Glenda our Angel

Today my beautiful daughter Glenda Lee Nesbit passed away at the Logan Regional Hospital at 10:30 a.m.  I was blessed to sit with her along with many family members who love her dearly.  Mothers are suppose to make their children all better, give them a kiss and send them on their way.  I so wanted to make her all better but I just couldn't so I pled with my Heavenly Father to please bring her home and take away her suffering. A prayer not unfamiliar to me. This same plea went to Heaven from my lips for her father thirty five years ago. When you love someone so deeply you except their pain as yours so they may be free.  I think of the love my Savior has for me because he willingly suffered greater pain than I can begin to imagine to free me from my weaknesses.
Tonight my heart hurts so bad I think it should shatter into a million pieces.  But, tomorrow is a new day And I shall try my best to let the peace the Savior so freely offers enfold me and help me along.

I have so much I want to record of Glenda's last few days but for now I am spent. I want her back the same as I wanted her father back. I have lived with HOPE that all would be well.  Now my hope is gone. My tears are many.  Some of joy for her and some of anguish for me.   I know that my prayers sent to Heaven have been answered according to the Lord's eternal plan.  As President Kimball told me thirty five years ago. Keep your faith strong.  Go to your Father in Heaven for He knows you and He loves you.  He is very aware of your pain and he will help you to go on.

My sweet daughter. Rest is now yours. You did the work, you kept the faith and you are free.  I love you so much.

A Very Special Mother's Day

My Sweet Daughter Glenda

Today was hard. There is no other way to say it.  It stunk, it was horrible, it was sad, it was plain and simply not good. Glenda was taken to the ER this morning in severe pain. When I talked with her on Saturday she said the pain had gotten worse and Friday night and Saterday were bad. The pain medicine was only lasting about two hours. We talked about who she would go to for help. The nurse at the cancer center gave her the name of a doctor she really liked. Dr Ben Jacob was out ill but the clinic would see about getting something different. If nothing else she would go to the ER.
Saturday night it was growing worse. Early Sunday it was severe and she began throwing up.  Dan took her to the ER and they started a strong pain med. it began to help but the pain came so they gave her more. This gave some relief. They did a scan, blood work and drained about 500cc of fluid from her abdomen to relieve some pressure.  She has infection. The fluid was milky and stinky.  A Dr. Jones was the ER doctor.  They felt maybe she had an intestinal leak so a surgeon was called in.  Dr. Scott Anderson. Surgery would be about an hour and a half. In an hour he came out and sat down between Dan and Brad. The news was not good.
