This is my absolute favorite Halloween picture of Kamber, actually one of my favorite pictures of her, period.
Here is a picture of all the cousins and friends at our yearly chili and cornbread party at my house last year. We do this every year before trick or treating!
Here is Kamber being silly with her sister's, she didn't want to take this picture, but I'm glad I got it.
Oh my, how cute is my little angel in this picture! Here is Kamber with her buddy/cousin Shariden. They are only three months apart and they really enjoyed making messes and having fun together! Halloween 2007 was a great year. We had our whole family around and we were really enjoying life, everything seemed perfect! Kamber was talking really well and had quite a fun personality. You can see the light just shinning through her. There was never a dull moment with her around and if you were sad, you couldn't help but smile when you saw her sweet face and heard her sweet voice.
We took our pictures and we were off to get some candy! Kamber had her own little bag, her flip flops on and she was ready to go. She took off running with all the kids up to each door for some candy. There were sometimes that she was scered (scared) and I would hold her hand and walk her up to the door. She absolutely loved Halloween and enjoyed shoving as much candy in her mouth as she could while trick or treating. By the end of the night I asked her if she wanted mommy to hold her candy bag while we walked because I could tell she was struggling. She told me no and got a little skip in her step and off she went with a bag almost as big as her. I don't know if she told me no because she was afraid I would eat her candy or if it was that she was determined to be a big girl. Knowing her it was probably both.
I can't tell you enough how much I really loved last year, or how much I miss having Kamber here this year. My heart feels absolutely broken that it physically hurts. I have a lot to endure this day and it feels like it won't end but I know that this day will pass because time doesn't stand still no matter how much we wish it could.

Jen,
My comment is a little about yesterday as I thought about what you said. You don't understand how Ethan can be so strong.
I was thinking about this a lot yesterday and one thing kept comming to mind. Heavenly Father often answers our prayers through other people. Sometimes those people are enlightened beyond their typical thinking to pass along a message.
Maybe Heavenly Father is using both of you to answer eachothers prayers. You are both so intune with him and on the same topic, he could be using this method to bind the two of you to him, and to eachother.
I am sure their are times Ethan thinks the exact same thing about you.
As for halloween...
Kamber gets to be an Angel for Halloween this year, and she is even dressed for the occasion. Kamber looked so beautiful in her white dress, bracelet, flip flops, and hair clip. I am sure her Angelic personality is lighting up all of Heaven today. There aren't any tricks in Heaven! Only treats!
I will pray that the ache in your heart might be replaced with comfort today. I love you.

Hey Jen,
I was just wishing I could take your pain, just for a day, and let you feel light, happy, and free from pain for a little while. Then I thought about how our Saviour carries our burdens so much, and he has felt every bit of pain and sorrow that we are going through. I'm so thankful for Him. I appreciate you sharing your experiences, because it helps me to appreciate the every day happenings, and it helps my faith to grow. I am praying for you today. Love you!
(((hugs))) Holidays just aren't going to be the same this year. Keep me in your thoughts tonight and I'll keep you in mine. I got your email, I will call soon (maybe next week sometime?).
