Another December 5th

I told myself that I should write something today, hopefully I don't ramble too much.  Well its been 4 years now since Cosette passed away.  It bothers me that I still feel sad/down this time of year (the last half of November and 1st part of December).  It annoys me that I feel less confident and more anxiety at work or in public.  I took today off and spent the day as if it were any other day off.  We dropped the kids off at school and messed around the house a little.  When Ben was finished with school, we went to the zoo came home and took naps.  After school, Ally went to a birthday party.  I'm glad that Ally doesn't have a problem coping.  After Ally's party, we did our usual routine for December 5th; bought some flowers, went out to eat (taco bell this year), and stopped by to see Cosette.  When we got home we played in the basement for a couple of hours.  Ben's enthusiasm with sports always cheers me up.  He loves to throw the football around and tackle each other.  Well, I made it through another December 5th.  I miss my daughter.  I know that our family is forever and I will see her again, courtesy of of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  I know these things to be true, because I've prayed and felt it deep down inside.  I am so thankful for my Savior and the peace His gospel brings me.  Through Him all things are possible.

Matt

I thought of you and your wife several times yesterday and what are hard day it must be. I am glad you got to spend the day together as a family.
