The Best Day of My Life
One of the best days of my life was Saturday, April 13, 2013. The day I lost Distinguished Young Women of Rigby. Now, you might be thinking, "Wow, your life must be pretty terrible then." Actually, no. Quite the contrary. I got do something I love, I felt loved, and I had one of the best spiritual experiences of my life.
I got numerous flowers, cards, gifts, and hugs from people wishing me good luck and telling me how awesome I was. I think I have 4 or 5 separate vases of flowers in my house symbolizing how blessed I am. I will forever be in debt to everyone who supported me and wished me the best. I will be forever grateful.
The night was so fun. I did my absolute very best. And it was so fun! The awards ceremony was hard, but worth it. I knew how it would end up, and I felt satisfied, because I had done all I could.
But I think the best part of the night happened after it was all over. I was emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted. I felt good. A little upset. But good. I was doing good, until my Aunt Peggy, whom I love dearly, came up and gave me a hug. And then I started bawling. She told me she was proud of me and that I did such good job. I then proceeded to give almost every single member of my family a hug. Mom, Dad, Lance, Jill, Rett, Tish, Tyler, Paige, Katie, Crystal, and Abby. I hugged my nephews earlier that day. The only person I didn't hug was Mitch. But that'll change on June 26. I hugged all of my friends and thanked them all for coming. I hugged the winners and congratulated them.
At this moment my friend invited me to her house to eat cake and celebrate. I looked down off the stage, and saw my whole family standing there, talking and laughing. At that moment I had a glimpse of what heaven will be like. I decided that my family was the one thing that mattered most to me. I looked at that beautiful sight, and said to my friend, "isn't that a beautiful sight?" with tears in my eyes. I looked at my family, and said to myself, "I win." I can't wait for the moment when I can hug my brother Mitch and reunite with my whole family for the first time in 2 years.
More importantly, I can't wait until after this life, when my whole family is gathered around me and I can hug them all individually and say, "Well done. We win." We will finally be reunited with Samuel, and Grandpas and Grandmas, and everyone else we love and adore.
For that is the greatest award of all. I might not be Distinguished Young Women of Rigby 2014, but I am The Most Blessed Girl of Planet Earth. And I win.
