Songs of the heart

I've noticed that ever since Logan died, I've had trouble saying goodbye to the people I love.  I guess his death reinforced what I already knew--that life is fragile and can change in a heartbeat.  You may have noticed it, too, since I'm usually blubbering well in advance.

So, being all together for our reunion in Nauvoo was bliss, but saying goodbye was so hard.  On the way home, I was thinking about something Uncle Forrest said at Grandma's 80th birthday party.  He said that although we were not terming her party a "reunion", it really was because we were all there and were happy to be together.  He reminded us of how happy we would all be when we are all reunited with Grandpa and others gone before (including Logan.)  I started thinking of this hymn:


Oh, what songs of the heart
We shall sing all the day,
When again we assemble at home,
When we meet ne'er to part
With the blest o'er the way,
There no more from our loved ones to roam!
When we meet ne'er to part,
Oh, what songs of the heart
We shall sing in our beautiful home.

Although I hope it's doesn't come too soon for any of us, it will be wonderful when we can meet "ne'er to part!"  In the meantime, visits and Skype will have to do.
