I just Miss Kamber

I just miss this, what is in this picture. I was pregnant with Brookie in this picture and we were at the snow. This time together as a family was great! I miss having Kamber here and today is a Kamber moment. I don't have any inspiring words for myself or others today, I JUST MISS MY KAMBER!

I am so sorry for your precious Kamber. She is such a doll and what a beautiful family. I feel the same...We went on a mini vacation this weekend and all I could think of was, Evan would love this, and then to see the "new family photo" taken...it was hard to see Evan missing. Days are so hard...I will be thinking of you.; October 20, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Kelli said...: Jen, I don't have encouraging words other than I would be concerned if you didn't have these days. My uncle lost his 14 year old son to the "choking game" a couple years ago. He always tried to be so strong for everyone. One day his boss felt the need to visit my uncle at a jobsite. When he arrived he found my uncle sobbing. All he could say was, "I miss my son." I've never experienced what you have experienced along with so many others, but I know in my heart these days can be healing. I also know this is why we have the gospel. Christ has felt what you feel and He will do all He can to make it better.; October 20, 2008 at 1:11 PM

Laura said...: Hi, Jen! I am a romanian mommy, who has heard about your tragic loss from Suzila (she left me a beautiful message on my blog, a few days ago)...and i wanted so much, ever since, to stop by and say something...comferting...
...but i just couldn't...and i'm not at all sure that i can do that even now, because i can't stop my tears from falling down.........

You were and still are a beautiful family, all togheter with Kamber who completes you from the sky...
She's always there, besides you...cuddling her tiny, warm hand in yours...
I know you can feel her and i'm glad that you are such a strong person, who believes there's more after death...
You will be togheter for eternity!

Many hugs and kisses from me, Laura and my little son, Bogdan :)
God bless you!!!
I pray that He heals your pain!; October 23, 2008 at 1:46 AM

It was July 25th 2008 and it was a great day. All the kids were getting along with eachother. Ethan and I were going on vacation with a few friends and we were to leave at 5:00p.m. that evening. At about 11:00 a.m. I started packing for the trip. I caught Kamber out back playing with the hose with her cousin a couple of times. The last time Ethan and I went out back to get after the girls for playing in the hose. Ethan sprayed the girls and we chased them all back inside. Ethan went into his office and I went back into our room to pack. It was a short time after this that Kamber some how made it into the pool area. We can't figure out how it happened, we have a gate around our pool shut and locked. Nobody had been in the pool area in days. We lost site of Kamber for a few minutes but this was enough time for her to fall in the spa part of our pool and drowned. I had gone into Ethans office and said something to him and turned around to find my niece crying. I knew. I ran straight to the pool and didn't see her and then caught a glimps of her leg in the spa. It took forever to get the pool fence open , but I ran as fast as I could and pulled her out. Ethan ran in and started CPR, I called 911. The Fire Depatment came fast. They worked on her and then headed to the hospital. We already knew she was gone. I could feel her comforting arms around me. We raced to the hospital where we watched them work on her for about 10 more minutes. She was gone. They let me hold her for about 2 hrs till the medical examiner came to get her. I felt a small amount of peace and I thank my Heavenly Father for that. It was her time to return home. We are grateful for the 2 1/2 years Heavenly Father let us enjoy the beautiful person she is. We will be with her again as a family and I can't wait to raise her again. Her sisters miss her dearly, but they know she not far away and she is safe. We love our valiant angel!
