they knew each other before

i believe we lived before we came to earth

all as spirit sons and daughters

of our Heavenly Father

in a place that us "mormons" 

call the pre-existence.

i'm not sure how many faiths have this same belief,

but it's one of my favorite truths

the gospel teaches.

i am a 100% confident that 

daron and carter were best friends

in heaven before they came to earth.

it's almost hard to describe the bond 

they have between them.

sometimes i watch carter look at daron

and i swear he is thinking, 

"finally, finally i get to be with you on earth."

i picture those 26 years carter had in heaven without daron

agonizing for him.

i have never seen a son love their dad so much.

it really is somethin' else.

i am so grateful for the chance to witness such a bond

and i pray my heart out every day

that it will never skip a beat.
