Forgotten Carols

Jodi, Suzi and I went to Forgotten Carols again this year. We love this tradition and treasure it as one of the best parts of the Christmas season. I love going and listening and feeling the Spirit as each of the songs are sung. I remember Christmases past and different obstacles and trials overcome. I remember the real reason for this Christmas season. I leave with so much gratitude for all the gifts my Savior has given me. I find renewed strength to be better, do better and try harder. I find myself re-committing to my goals and finding so much joy in the good parts of my life.

This year, at the end, everyone links arms and sings Together Fovever. Jodi and I started coming not long after my mom died. I know my mom sits with me and Jodi each year at Forgotten Carols and "links arms" with us. I sing to her. I sing for my Savior. This year, I had tears as I realized how lucky I was to just be here. Just be at the play and being with Jodi was such a special experience. It was a night that we celebrated this journey that I have been overcoming. I feel so grateful for nights like this that help me to hold on to the hope and to place so much determination into my soul of vowing to fight a good fight.

It was such an amazing night and I loved spending it together!
