A tragedy happened on September 10. A guest speaker at UVU, Charlie Kirk, was killed. It was shocking. Jr. was on campus but we were able to get him back to our house to stay for a few days since campus (and his apartment complex) closed down. Jr. Jr.'s school is right next to UVU so they kept the students there an extra hour before sending them home. There was definitely some processing we all needed to do.
The sad event made me reflect on 9/11, and what I experienced in 2001.
It also made me reflect on what President Nelson had been saying around his birthday. We need to be peacemakers. We need to remember that we are children of God and that others are as well and should be treated that way.
President Nelson was such a good example of a disciple of Jesus Christ. He practiced what he preached. He sadly passed away the end of September but at 101 years old, it didn't come as a complete surprise. He lived a long and remarkable life and I am grateful I had the opportunity to learn so much from him.
On a happier note because life has to continue even when you're processing a tragedy, September 11 was Make Your Bed Day. Jet helped me make Pigs in a Blanket. I appreciate the helper he is.
