Were to even begin? I think that saying, "We're Okay" is a good start.
I never knew I could experience such happiness and sadness in a single situation. Brig's funeral was beautiful. It was perfect, just like him. I loved that Aubree was climbing up and down Joe and I while we were giving our talks, and I loved that Ryah tried to grab the microphone while the kids were singing there song. I've come to terms that life is funny, and you really need to enjoy it and find purpose in every journey, even the hard ones, but especially the easy ones.
It's hard to accept that life moves forward. I'm really glad that it does, it's just hard. I feel lucky to know I will eventually get to raise him, but for the time being I get a little thrown off still with no baby in hand. You have to let life move forward and find purpose and meaning... to find happiness. I feel we may have lost Brig for the time being, but have gained so much more in return and for that I am thankful.There are things that I have felt and learned that I never would have comprehended before. Brigham taught me very much with his short life here on earth. I know these newly gained experiences have already helped me be a better person and will continue to help me to remember my purpose in life. So with that I say thank you Brig.
Thank you everyone who came, and who wished that they could have come. If you missed his graveside, the picture above is all the kids letting go of their balloons for Brig. Sweet Klaire gave her balloon a kiss and said that she was "sending" it up to Brigham. We have amazing family and friends and I really can't thank everyone enough. I love you all.

I love you Chels, and love our little lion man. It was so great to be with you, joe and the girls this week. I miss you guys already.
aww Chels, what a nice post for you to share with us. The funeral was so perfect and I loved the stories that you and Joe shared. I'm proud to know ya!
Chelsea I love you! I really wish I could have been there thanks for sharing this, and I am so proud to call you my friend you are amazing in every way.
Oh, I would love to sit down with you guys & talk sometime Chelsea! The best way that Lincoln & I have been able to describe Jackson's death is that for the 2 weeks after it really felt as if Satan didn't exist. I have never felt so happy or so at peace. Linc & I have never felt so strong as a couple. I have also never felt such an empty void. It's very hard to explain, but I know that you know! We love you both.

You and joe are amazing. Beyond amazing. Brighams service was so spiritual and touching. like Joe said he is for sure a little missionary and has touched so many people and strengthened all our testimonies. I love you guys.
The funeral really was perfect. You and Joe really did a good job and I loved to see you guys as a family even through your talks. I wonder all the time how you guys are doing. I hope you guys are okay as okay can be right now.
I'm sorry we couldn't be there to support you for his services. We kept sending prayers your way. You are such a strong and faithful person and have been such am example to us all on trusting the savior and his plan of salvation. You are a sweet mama, all three of your kids are so lucky to have you and Joe as parents
