Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you? I am fine. No, really I am fine. Let me try to explain.
Since I have left you, I have been extremely busy helping to teach people about the Plan of Salvation and the Purpose of Life as well as many other truths of our Father. I know my mortal life was very short, yet very necessary. My gift from God was a tangible, physical body that I will have forever when I am resurrected, and it will be perfect and without blemish. If it wasn't for the efforts of both of you, that body would not be.
Mom, I felt so comfortable and secure as my body developed inside you. You made me feel warm and peaceful. I knew something was not correct with the way I developed, but both of you can rest assure with a confident knowledge that my development was part of God's plan. Neither of you are at fault for the physical challenge that I experienced. Sometimes, things of the mortal world are not perfect. Perfection is something that is earned through the trials that are put in front of us. My trial just happened to be different than yours.
I can tell you that my experience of birth was without question, wonderful. To beathe the air and fill my senses with a short life is an experience that will always be with me. Momma, you are so beautiful, and daddy, to be like you brings me joy. This is such a wonderful blessing to have you both as my earthly parents. I told you both that I loved you. I didn't have a lot of strength to enjoy the physical conversation that I desired to have, but I know you heard me.
To hear my little sister's cry was stirring. The months Scarlet and I spent inside of you, mom, was an incredible experience. We were never alone. We always had each other while with you.
Daddy, the blessing you gave me with grandpa was magnficent. When you held me in your hands and guarded me with your arms, I felt your strength and concern to protect me. Your words are eternal and those blessings are being realized right now. To see your tears as you and I developed a relationship was extremely comforting. You can certainly expect to pick up where we left off with that experience.
Momma, your caress and embracing me next to your heart as the angels of heaven escorted me back to the presence of God was so soothing to my spirit. Your calm and loving voice, warm breath and soft touch testified to me that you are my mother and earthly angel. I can hardly wait until I can embrace you in my arms.
Wow, what a sight it was to see everyone through my small eyes that cares for me. Even after I left my tabernacle of flesh, I was filled with joy to witness my family members and parent's friends visit and express their love.
I want all of you to know that this is a time to celebrate my short life. I have come to earth, I have gained a body and I have returned to my Father in Heaven. My earthly experience was short, but extremely important as is yours. I have been blessed with the Celestial Kingdom as my reward. Not yet the highest degree of that kingdom for the ordinance of eternal marriage I look forward to is expected during the Millennium.
My earthly experience has been an exceptional trip. Even now to witness this sacred graveside service brings joy to me. Please know that what you feel as a broken heart is not that at all. What you feel is me touching your hearts as you have touched mine. Also recognize, Mom and Dad, that I will always be aware of what is happening to you and if you feel me near you, it is because I am.
Well, TTFN.
Love,
Your son, Kingston
p.s. There are so many people that I know here and they all send their love to you. See you when you get here.
p.p.s. My crazy Aunt Linda is making funny faces at me to crack me up.
p.p.p.s. Scarlet, you have the feet of a dancer. I felt them many times. I am very pleased to be your big brother.
