What Elder Utchdorf wrote

I was reading some of Bryce's letters the other day.  It was definitely a Bryce day.  I don't know what started it but it continued throughout the day and into the week.  I saw lots of Rav4's, heard a certain song that I heard once right after the accident that spoke directly to me, saw mothers that knew Bryce and had a son that had died...the list goes on.  I laugh and cry because it is like Bryce is poking me through heaven.  It is hard for me to explain unless you are a mother that has lost a child.  Then I have found you know exactly what I am talking about.  So here is the point.  I re-read a letter sent to me from who was then Elder Utchdorf.  I love this part:
Bryce is in the best place he can possibly be at this time.  Your beloved son continues to be involved in the work of the Lord and is safely in His hands. 
I know this is true and it makes me very happy.  It reminded me of being in Tokyo in the temple with Kim and Dallin.  This was the end of Dallin's mission.  As they were praying for the missionaries, I thought...oh--I have no more missionaries.  Then a voice as distinct and clear as can be came to my mind...no mom.  You will always have a missionary.
It doesn't get better than that!
