Temple work for them or is it more for us?

Several years ago my Korean grandfather and grandmother passed away. Since then my mother has tried to find a way to get her siblings together in Hawaii to do the temple work needed for their family. Being that each of the seven siblings lives in a different part of the world, this was no easy task. But yesterday, on a day when life went on as usual for the rest of the world, she accomplished her goal and met in the temple in Laie and completed the glorious temple work for her parents. Parents who disagreed with her decision to move to America and leave Seoul, Korea when she was just a teenager. Parents who questioned her decision to marry a young, talented, amazing man from Manderfield, Utah. Parents who eventually moved from Seoul themselves to find a life in Hawaii near the rest of their children who had one by one followed in the footsteps of my mother to move to America in hopes of a better life. Today I feel a sense of sadness in that I was not able to be there for such a memorable event, but I also feel a sense of joy. The kind of JOY that only comes from knowing that the ultimate goal obtained ultimately ensures our place in heaven with those very unique and wonderful people we love and cherish the most. Congratulations, Mom! You did it!
