The Message

A friend of mine gave me the book The Message by Lance Richardson. This book is great. Lance wrote an account of when he had a near death experience and the things that happened. What an amazing experience he was able to have. I know the things he says in the book are true because my dad had a similar experience. I know we have loved ones all around us that have passed on. They are our angels. It is true, we can feel Kamber around us everyday. Especially the days that are hard for us to endure. She lets us know of her presence by a warm feeling of pure love. We are so thankful for that. She wants us to endure to the end and she is up there cheering us on. I'm sure she is sad when we are sad and happy when we are happy. I'm sure she laughs when things are funny. Tayler reminded me yesterday that when something was funny that Kamber would giggle and say "It Funny!" It is not what she said so much, but how she said it. She was always the life of the party. I think that is part of what makes it so hard to have her gone. She made us laugh every day. Life was so interesting with her here. I find myself looking around and thinking "did this really happen?" At times it just doesn't seem real. When am I going to wake up? Maybe it doesn't seem real because we feel her all around us. I don't really know.
Well back to the book. This is an easy reader and not a very long book. It has brought me comfort and peace. This book is also found at the Deseret Book Store. Thanks for your time and have a great day!

Jen, I am so glad you had a chance to read that book. It rang so true to us as we read it, and it gave us a great perspective on the guardian angels all around us helping and watching out for us.

We continue to pray for your peace and comfort and hope you can find glimpses of joy and hapiness every day.

no doubt she was and probably still is the life of the party. i love that little woman. i still get people calling me to tell me how sorry they are for the loss.. they always tell me of their first encounter with little kampers. it's always a sweet story of how kamber would come to them and love them and just cling to them. i have SO many of those experiences of my own. i loved to feed her her bottle when she was little. she would always cuddle up with me and GIGGLE and SMILE all the time. man... the day of reunion will be so so sweet! i cant wait!

I loved that book too. I did a post a little back about how awesome it is. I borrowed it from Chelisa. Whenever you want some digital paper help with adding slideshows or videos let me know. I came across some flip flop paper I have that seems like it would fit her personality as "flip flop queen". It so easy to change the background, even w/o the cutest blog on the block stuff.

Jen I love reading your posts I look forward to them everyday. Thanks for sharing these personal moments with everyone. We are all better people because of you. Kamber is watching you everyday and is beaming with joy and pride that you are her mom. What a great example you are to all of us.
