Ellis Returns to Memphis, TN

We returned to Memphis, Tennesse, and stayed with my sister and her family for 5 days.  It was the least we could do since she was responsible to putting us in contact with Tabitha.  Hannah Grace, Isabella, and Alma Sue were so excited to meet their brand new cousin.  They loved to hold him, feed him, and tickle him.  Grandpa and Uncle Steve were also excited to meet Ellis for the first time.   Ellis was always being loved by someone.  

We took Tabitha and Lexie to the Memphis Temple grounds for a final good-bye.  Tabitha chose this location as a symbol of Ellis' new eternal family. The temple grounds are such a peaceful place to be.   

I reflected on the eternal nature of families in the Plan of Salvation and I felt so grateful for Ellis and Jason. And for the chance to say thank-you and good-bye to Tabitha.
