Leila's Last Thoughts on Pinterest

8/28/2013

10 Comments

 
Maybe I'm sharing too much. I don't know. There's no manual for these sorts of things. But it helps me. Here are Leila's last thoughts on Pinterest.
We get an email when someone has an interaction with us on Pinterest. We get one even when it's one of us that pins from our personal accounts. Aug 4th-5th was the night/morning that Leila went into the hospital and the last time she was conscious. When I saw an email saying Leila had "liked" something from LDS NEST's Pinterest boards I took note of the date. It was the 4th. I took note of the time, it was 10:10 pm, about 5 hours before her last words.

Since her passing, there's a need to connect with Leila any last little ways I can. I wondered what she'd been thinking as some of her last thoughts so I clicked through to the pin. Here's what it was. 
Dare to be unforgettable. Done. Leila

This is such a bittersweet tug on my heart. It does me good to know these were some of her last thoughts. And maybe she unknowingly left a little message of choosing to be happy by daring to be bold, making it happen, and being unforgettable. This was so Leila. She may have "liked" it but she really lived it also.

That is so, so Leila! I still can't believe she's gone and can't even begin to fathom your heartache and pain. If I could take some of it away, I surely would. Hugs :)

There is peace in knowing these are her thoughts. Congratulations on leading and rearing a woman who made these kinds of choices. Regardless of when they're called home, I hope my own children are in this kind of mental space. Thanks for sharing.

Those thoughts and words are so fitting. I believe your sharing helps everyone else as well. It surely makes me re-evaluate who I am, who I want to become and what I stand for. Please don't stop sharing because I know it's helping me too.

I saw your post on Facebook. I can't tall you how sad we are to hear about Leila. I remember sitting in the hospital with you when Leila was born. Our thoughts and prayers are and will continue to be with you.

It all seems a little surreal. When we were in ICU this time with her it was exactly 28 years after her being born and in ICU in Long Beach. Very few of our friends are around from back then. Thanks for your memories and prayers.

Leila's attitude towards life really touches me. I came here thru Pinterest because I was searching how to teach YW lessons. I am teaching "what's the purpose of life" this week.

One of my husband's friend's wife passed almost the same way. Her hubby is from Holland and she was pregnant with their first child. He was left with a newborn here in US.He has been a great dad..

Gloria thank you for sharing your feelings. It's interesting how we all connect in some way. It's also good for us to hear that your husband's friend is getting along well as a new dad. Happy hugs to you.
