Our guardian angel

Today during Primary, the lesson was about the light of Christ. Apparently, Bekah raised her hand and when called upon, announced, "Grandpa Bassett died." A couple of the adults came up to me later and offered their condolences. Thanks, but Grandpa Bassett died almost 7 years ago, long before Bekah was born.

Now I know this gets into super cheesy, but I have always felt like after his death, Grandpa Bassett was up in heaven preparing my kids. Once, when Rebekah was young, I showed her pictures of everyone from the Bassett reunion, trying to teach her everyone's name. Without prompting, she pointed out and named, "Grandpa Bassett." So her comment is probably just some random comment from a slightly ADHD child, but if not....
