Monday marked a month since Kamber passed away. We thought Tuesday was the 25th so we planned to go to Kambers grave site that day. Late Monday afternoon we realized it was that day. A sadness came over me, how could I have not realized what day it really was. Our plan was to take Kamber flowers. Ethan reassured me it was an honest mistake and Kamber probably really doesn't care. Her body is buried there, her spirit is not. We get to have her spirit with us everyday. So yesterday we went to the cemetery after I picked the girls up from school. We bought some flowers and met Ethan there. As we were getting out of the car at the cemetery the girls had some gum and candy in there hands. They told me that they were giving Kamber some candy. She loved to chew gum and any kind of candy. I told them Kamber would love that. Kylie told me that Kambers spirit would come down from Heaven and she would get her gum and candy. Then she would go back up to heaven and Grandpa Leonard would help her eat it. My heart swelled. What sweet girls I have. They love there little sister so much. I know Kamber was looking down with a huge smile on her face. I am so grateful for my sweet children. They bring me pure happiness and joy!
Shout out to Dallas my nephew Happy 1st Birthday!

I love the part about the candy. It brought a smile to my face.
I'm sure it's hard to think about the month anniversary. I hope you can find comfort in knowing how much you've grown, how much strength you've received, and how much faith you've gained over the last month.
I think that's really cool that you and Ethan are having dreams of Kamber. How special!
jen... your girls are so dang cute. i cant tell you how much it made me miss them as i read your post. i was thinking this morning that on friday it would be 4 weeks the day you burried her and 5 weeks from the accident. just think... you have made it that far. on the days that didnt seem like you could go one more second... you made it this far. keep it up. you are a huge example to me, thank you.
That was soo cute for your girls to do that, I bet she did see that and did smile!
You are in my prayers!!
How fun that the girls, thought of Kamber.. I can see them now, putting candy there for her. Yep Kamber sure loved candy, i loved seeing her messy little face and hands after eating candy. I miss her, but know she is in a better place.
That is to sweet. Children never stop amazing me!! Jen I check your blog often and I think many other people do as well. We are all people who don't even know each other very well but, think of all the people Kambers life has touched. Seriously my testimony was strengthened so much after going to Kambers funeral service. She made more of an impact on people in her short 2 1/2 years than I have in 26 yrs. Thank you for sharing so much with us!! =) Leah
