I remember it was my first time ever having to speak in sacrament meeting (youth speaker). I was so nerveous in the first place. It didn't help that it was also Aarons Missionary Homecoming (doubling the congregation). The only thing about that whole day I remember is that they sang "Called to serve" and the whole stage was vibrating because Aaron and the bishopbric were so into the song that they were tapping their feet on the foor. My nerveous spirit was calmed with inner laughter. I don't know if that story helps. But I do know that its always important to keep memories of people alive. You are loved more than you know....please don't waste the beautiful talent that God has given you. I have always wished I had the talent to sing but I finally came to terms and decided that I'll just wait till I can sing in Heavens Choir. You are AMAZING!The Pohlman Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14884540520949044674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-27018585833451960662008-11-14T14:40:00.000-07:002008-11-14T14:40:00.000-07:00I love to hear you sing, Leslie.

Sometimes it drives Justin nuts, but I break into song ALL THE TIME!!! Anyway, I am super happy that you found the strenght to start to enjoy singins again. Maybe we can do a little together.

What a heartache thing to endure!<BR/><BR/>Your strength, honesty and faith are an inspiration to all of you readers. You give powerful testimony!<BR/><BR/>I read back through your posts and wasn't able to discern what caused Aaron's sudden passing. If it is a private matter, I totally understand.<BR/><BR/>I know it will gladden you heart when I tell you how obvious it is that Aaron Jr. is such a happy little tyke. You must be sure proud of him as is his father.<BR/><BR/>I admire you so for treasuring and keeping all the memories to be shared with Aaron Jr. Without ever having met Aaron, I know he must be pleased with the way you are raising his son.<BR/><BR/>You are in my prayers,<BR/>kathrynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-2804280257876718002008-11-14T05:42:00.000-07:002008-11-14T05:42:00.000-07:00So glad for you that you have found again this lov...So glad for you that you have found again this lovely form of expression.<BR/>:-))Clippy Mathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922234265229327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-73337474746659183262008-11-14T00:19:00.000-07:002008-11-14T00:19:00.000-07:00I'm so glad that you are singing again.

I just want to let you know how much this post has touched my heart. I ache for you and little Aaron, and am amazed at the example you have been for the rest of us, albiet even through your trials.<BR/><BR/>I think you've told a beautiful story of true healing, in that often times we deprive ourselves of our joys as to not forget our pain - although surely we will never forget.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you the very best, and hoping you can see the beautiful person you've become.<BR/><BR/>ClaudetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-75806375522972964642008-11-13T00:39:00.000-07:002008-11-13T00:39:00.000-07:00Les,Can't believe what a "coincidence" to have suc...Les,<BR/><BR/>Can't believe what a "coincidence" to have such a poignant moment on the same day regarding the singing of hymns!!! I too happened to be sitting in church on the same day next to my Mom (who I haven't had the priveledge of sitting next to in church for quite some time). She made it to my son's baby blessing, if that wasn't miracle enough!!! I wrote to her later in the sacrament meeting what a joy it was to have such fond memories of being a child, sitting on that same side of her, and hearing her beautiful voice singing of the Savior. It was and still is the only voice that gives me the confidence to sing along with her in my "true" voice. I wrote to her of the joy I felt now to be a mother, sitting next to her and singing once again of the Savior with her. I too thought of the influence on my own children and how much I desired for them to have that sense of security in hearing me bare testimony through song. We both shed tears of joy and bonded in a unique and amazing way. The spirit was so strong.<BR/>It is joy, true joy, deep and lasting joy to sing the hymns and they are a prayer to the Lord. I will join you in the quest to be a better example in this, to sing and to feel the spirit that comes from it. I love you, my friend.yellowomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385267027636040941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-17652417728769424382008-11-12T22:08:00.000-07:002008-11-12T22:08:00.000-07:00Higgy,This post somehow reminded me of the great m...Higgy,<BR/>This post somehow reminded me of the great memories of the old days in England together. You're an angel and I'm happy to hear that you are taking small steps while still being honest and real with yourself. I thought of a quote that I have on my desk at work, "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again.'" Continue to be brave and have courage my dear friend. I think of you often and thank God for the opportunity to know you. Love you.<BR/><BR/>PattyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-44135480126292983992008-11-12T13:21:00.000-07:002008-11-12T13:21:00.000-07:00Have been reading your blog for the longest time a...Have been reading your blog for the longest time and I was so touched today by your post. It has inspired me to look at areas where I deprive myself of the Joy that is waiting for me to take hold of. I have struggled with prayer lately and have been so touched by your example. Today I am more committed to turn to my father in heaven in prayer because of you.

I am actually surprised that you hadn't been singing since you have said how much you wished that Aaron would grow up loving to sing. <BR/>I am sure little Aaron loved to hear you sing on Sunday. All you Higginsons sound so wonderful. I miss the gatherings where people would take turns singing solos or together. Please don't bury your talents.
