My baby sister died one year ago on January 31, so I went home to help do her temple work. It was a sad, but wonderful day.
I was able to stand in for Jana when she got sealed to her husband Brock. You can see the love they have for each other.
Although a year seems like a long time, it still doesn't seem like long enough to heal the hurt. Somedays I still can't believe she is gone. But I have faith that because of temple ordinances, we will get to see her again, that is a big part of how I deal with it all. But until that day comes, I will continue to miss her.
