Here are pictures of Kamber and Brookie at about the same age. Kamber is in the swimming suit and Brookie is in the pink. Just before Brookie was born I was going through Kambers baby clothes to sort out what ones I would keep and what ones I would send away. While I was doing this I kept having a feeling that Kamber was my baby girl and she would always be my little one. Till now I didn't understand the feeling that I kept getting. I thought that it meant that Brookie was going to be a boy. I remember talking to me mother in law and telling her my feelings that Kamber was always going to be my little girl and that I was sure I was going to have a boy. I was later so confused because the ultrasound said I was having another girl. I let the feeling pass and have since gone on with my life. I'm so grateful to have Brookie and she has brought so much happiness to our family. I wouldn't trade her for a million boys. Ethan and I couldn't even figure out how we got pregnant with her since we weren't try for another child. Now we know Heavenly Father knew what was to come shortly after her birth. Kamber loved her little sister and was always anxious to help in any way. When Brookie was only a few months old Kamber got a hold to the girls scissors and tried cutting off Brookies nose. I caught her just in time, Brookie had just a little cut on her nose. I now can laugh at this story. What good friends these two little sweethearts are at such a young age. Kamber will always be my little girl and the rest of them are growing up to quickly. I never thought that the feeling that I had would be this outcome. Ethan and I can't wait to raise Kamber again with our family as a whole. Thank Heaven for little girls!

I also believe that the Lord will give us tools to help us in our times of struggle, even when at first they don't seem to make sense. Brookie is such a beautiful blessing in your family and how wonderful that your family was given such a precious gift to help comfort your family.
I love those pictures! I remember when Kamber was a new born, I would just sit and stare at her. She was just beautiful.
I tried to take some flowers to her grave today but I wasn't sure which one is was. I had it narrowed down to two. To make a VERY long story short (remind me to tell you the story next time I see you) I had to leave with my flowers. I can't wait until she has her head stone, I know it's going to be beautiful. Love you guys!
How sweet! What a fun big sister Kamber is. I can't beleive how much they look alike. When I saw Brookie at the viewing, she took my breath away because I thought she looked so much like Kamber.
What cute little girls with their smiles and their bows! That is an amazing story about feeling that she will always be your little girl. You were probably being prepared for this event your entire life. That doesn't make it any easier, but probably makes little things make sense now that never made sense before.
We have moments like that in reguard to Bryan's MS all the time. The Lord obviously knows our trials and struggles and tries to prepare us to handle them. I know he is still by your side. Remember that he loves you!!
I love Pres. Monson's words, "you have always made it through and you always will." I'm so glad he responded to you. Thanks for sharing!
"The Lord takes many away even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on this earth. Therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil and we shall have them again. The only difference between the old and the young dying is, one lives longer in heaven and eternal light and glory than the other, and is freed a little sooner from this miserable world." -Spencer W. Kimball, Faith Preceeds the Miracle. p. 103
