Love & Tragedy

A week ago Eric and I received a phone call from Eric's brother Eli letting us know Eric's cousin, Zeke, had a little boy that was hurt in a freak accident. Eric and I rushed over to Primary Children's hospital and were saddened by what we saw. The little 4 year old boy was on life support. He was hooked up to so many tubes and machines; completely heartbreaking. Well the little boy didn't make it through the night. :( Sunday, the little boy's family wanted to hike up to Bridalveil Falls in Provo, and do something in memory of little Trevyn. So Eric and I left church a little early to go on the hike. When we got there we all took a balloon and wrote a little message to him, and then we hiked up the trail where a poem was read in his memory, and then the balloons were all released together at once. It was so touching how strong the family was, and to see how many friends showed up to support the Longstroths'.
ERIC AND THE VIEW!

Together Forever, what could be a better feeling? :)

Up towards the top of the falls. You can't see our feet but we were standing on the edge of a cliff!
It's so good to know that we were sealed to each other for time and all eternity, and know matter what happens in the future we will be reunited with our loved ones someday. :)
