I like this little song, "We're All Together Again, We're Here, We're Here. We're All Together Again, We're Here, We're Here. Here We Are Singing All Together Again. Singing All Together Again, We're Here, We're Here!!" Soon I will be singing it with meaning because my entire family will finally be all together again. Our "Little Link" has been away for two years. Well he isn't really little, but he has been away. Away in a different country for two whole years. Two years in dedicated service to our Heavenly Father teaching the Gospel to the sweet people of Trujillo Peru. I am so grateful that I've been able to email him weekly, watch videos of him, receive tons (yes tons) of pictures from him, talk to him twice a year (Mother's Day & Christmas) and Christmas 2010 we were able to actually see him, via Skype. Wonderful, but I haven't been able to touch him. I haven't been able to hug him, kiss him, or smell him. Oh how I've missed those hugs and kisses. He always hugged and kissed me goodnight. Well very, very soon I will see him face to face and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get several of his powerful hugs and sweet kisses. Oh I can't wait!!
