families are forever

Almost four years ago this little blessing came into my life.
She is a blessing I now call sister.

At the time she was just the cutest little two year old niece of our family friends.
When they asked if my parents would adopt her my parents fasted and prayed about it.
I was their youngest at 10 years old, and it would shake our house-hold to bring in a little child.
Both my mother and my father felt that we were supposed to adopt her.
They took my older sister (14 at the time) and I to dinner and asked how we would feel to have a little sister. At first we were a little shocked. But I promise it was a good shock.

They explained the situation to us and we were SO EXCITED.
She came to live with us just a few weeks after and the adoption was finalized the next year.

February 2012 Mesa, Arizona Temple

In 2012 my older sister (mkaul) and I had the opportunity to witness WILLOW BAILEY FILLEY be sealed to my parents for TIME AND ALL ETERNITY my oldest sister (britney) was not able to attend but still what an amazing experience to be inside the temple. The Mesa, Arizona temple is a beauty and I will never forget that special experience I had.

Adoption is a blessing
Willow is beautiful. She is my little sister. Forever. Families are forever. I have a testimony of this. <3
