It's not okay with me

Thanks for the sweet posts yesterday. Do remember you Maren and Jessica. I do know Angie Clegg, she is a sweetheart.
My title tells alot of what I feel today. I know nothing that happens in this world is up to me. That Heavenly Father has a greater plan for us all. Today I feel it's not okay that my Kamber is gone. I miss holding her and seeing her run around me. I wish time would just fly by so I could start to mend this deep hole in my heart. At the same time I want time to go slow, so her memories will be fresh in my mind. I often wonder why Heavenly Father thought I could take on this sorrow. "What was he thinking, I can't bare this." Kamber and all my girls are my world. This is not okay. Many people all around us are losing loved ones every day. I'm finding out that people very close to my family members are going through the same sorrows that I'm going through and I wonder if they feel the same way from time to time. I'm sure they do. When I do get upset I think of thy son Jesus Christ. He paid the price for all. He has felt all my pain and sorrow. Heavenly Father knows how I feel. I know there was much sadness when he had to watch how people treated Jesus and watched him die,but look at what he has done for each and every one of us. It was because of Jesus Christ that we all get to live again. There is no greater gift than that.

I am so sorry for your loss, I cant even imagine the hurt you are feeling my heart truly aches for you and your family. I have enjoyed getting to know Kamber, she is beautiful.
We are so lucky to have the gospel in our life, we can find so much peace through prayer and the plan of salvation how comforting it must be to know you will see your sweet Kamber again. You are amazing, you would have to be to be able to deal with the emotions that you are faced with each day. I was reading your last post "tender mercies" and it reminded me of one of my favorite songs from Michael McLean, its called tender mercies. If you haven't listened to it, you should. You have so many people praying for you and your family. Thank you for your inspiring words and reminding me how precious life is.

Thanks for sending us your blog address. I told Brett to tell you that if you need help with blogging let me know...I'm trying to learn how to change things. I wanted to tell you about this blog I read back in early July it was on my cousin's blog and she was really touched by it and so I read some of it and then with what happened with your family maybe you would understand what these people are going through. http://www.adailyscoop.blogspot.com/

I often say that when I get to heaven, I have many questions for my Heavenly Father, starting with, "What were you thinking?" I'm sure you'll be right there with me when the questioning starts. In fact, you can go first!

I, too, am not OK with what has happened. I've seen it before when a close family friend lost his almost 2 year old to leukemia. I was not OK with that either. But sweet Kamber, I saw at every family event. She always jumped on the trampoline with my twins and me. She will truly be missed!

Even though it is "not OK with us" we have to trust that Heavenly Father knows what he was doing. He knows more than us and promises to help us through the challenges he gives to us. I pray everyday that he is by your side and Ethan's, too. He understands your loss, he lost his son, too, so you could be with Kamber again. You'll have to keep the promise of eternal familes close to your heart as you try to make it through each day.

I love you!
