How I Survive

For those who, like me, have asked how on earth I can bear all of this:

"[I] have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save," with this guidance and promise:

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."

Eternal life is family life, bound with those we love for ever and for always in a state of happiness, peace, joy, and sociality that is glorified, perfect, and exactly what I want.

I love you eternally, ku'uipo. Thank you, Brandon, for this life and for promising to be with me in the next chapter of existence too.
