MY TWIN BROTHERS -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My twin brothers:  Todd D and Todd R were born November 7,  ___.  They died shortly after they were born.  The little guys weighed (not exact) 2 pd 13 oz and 2 pd 4 oz. One died three hours and the other eight hours after they were born.  They were blessed and given names at the hospital so my mother could be a part of that.  Names:  Todd D and Todd R.  She wasn't able to go the cemetery for the graveside service.  

I feel close to them -- always have. And throughout my life I have definitely felt them near -- I know that angels can come to us, be close to us.  Angels have the power to speak to us through the Holy Ghost.  2 Nephi 32:3 says:   Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ.  Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ, for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things which you should do.

I remember one day while I was working on the U of U campus, and also as a student.  I was very lonely, extremely lonely.  I was sitting on the grass area outside the Union Bldg. -- enjoying the sunshine and trying to do homework, but really, I was contemplating life and where I stood with the Savior.  If I was close to him as I should be, I shouldn't have such a hole of loneliess, but I did.  I remember the feeling, I remember the moment, I can visualize it -- when they came to me that afternoon in the sunshine.  I felt them, I knew it was them, they filled my soul and being with love. They held me and I knew that ALL WAS WELL AND WOULD BE OKAY.  It was only a short visit.  But they came to me.  Angels speak the words of Christ as well as offer his comforting touch.

Another time which is so sacred to me was when I was in the Bountiful Temple with my two sons, my parents and those who chose to be with us when Braden received his endowment before his mission to Hong Kong.  This is a story kept close to my heart - but many angels came to accompany us in the endowment room that day.  Braden and I both felt them -- I know that two of them were my twin brothers.  The celebration was superior.

Another spiritual experience is very special to me and even more dear to my heart - this is not where I will record the sacredness of it.  But it was the last night of my father's life here on earth. Shauna and I took turns through the night staying in the room with my dad. When it was my turn - my twin brothers came to us -- whispered their love and said that it was time for them to be with dad.  How incredibly powerful it was and I knew that they had come for my dad.

I love my  twin brothers -- I know them somewhat and know that there were many times in my life where they came to me and helped me raise that precious family of mine as a single mom, maybe gave me comfort when I didn't even realize it -- or gave me thoughts through the power of the Holy Ghost which is something that they can do.  I am grateful for the power of angels......
