I have been pondering about angels for a while now, and this is why.
On December 11, 2019, my 21 year old nephew was told that the treatments he had been doing for his cancerous brain tumor, a glioblastoma weren’t working and that there was no more to be done, and that me may only have 2 months to live.
This news of course was devastating not only to him, and his wife but to his whole family. We all came together as soon as we could.
We had just all spent a wonderful Thanksgiving. Austin had been doing really good. I have video of him being able to dance and play a catch game that day.
Now only 2 weeks later, he had declined so much. He was rapidly losing the use of his left side. He could hardly walk without falling much less dance like he had on Thanksgiving.
It was so hard to watch and I KNOW it had to have been much harder on him. I can’t even imagine how it is to know that you have such a short time to live, especially at such a young age.
Even though two months wouldn’t of been that long, I think we all knew that there would be no way that he would last two more months, just by how much he had declined in just two short weeks.
People from both sides of Austin’s family gathered. It was wonderful to see all the love and support there was for Austin. How grateful I am for families.
Austin’s aunt Dawn and uncle Jason and their family had to go back home, and before they left his Uncle Jason gave him a priesthood blessing. The blessing was beautiful, and there were many tears shed, because of the sweet spirit that was there, a tender mercy from our loving Heavenly Father.
In the blessing Austin was reminded that there are angels all around him and his family. These words sunk deep into my heart. What a wonderful thing to know that we are never alone! There ARE angels all around us, to help support us during our most trying times, and to rejoice with us during our joyful times.
Like I said, this really sunk deep into my heart, and was truly a comfort to me as we watch Austin leave this earth in just 16 short days after his was told he may of two months. Don’t get me wrong, it was a very sad difficult time, but I could feel that help that was coming from the both sides of the vail.
Since this experience just over a year ago, I have been pulled towards angels, and wanting to learn more about them. I will be writing about the things that I have learned. I want everyone to be able to know what I know, that there are angels all arounds us. and that they are a blessing from our loving, and kind Heavenly Father.
