I love the video, I am glad you finally got it to work. I will email the memories that we have of kamber. I want to spend one from each of us.I think it would be neat to see what memory brayden has so i will email them to you.

Once again, the tears well up and stream down. Those pictures are precious. Since I never knew Kamber, I was never able to put personality/cute faces/facial expressions/daily life together with her. But after this video clip, I was able to see how similar she is to my 2 and 3 yr olds. I identified...I connected your story to my life...to my kids. And that's when the hurt came to my chest, when the tears fell.

I just learned of another family going through the same tragedy as you. They are lost right now and don't know how to cope. A lot of anger. I felt so comforted to know that there are OTHER ways to cope (only thinking of you and your family). Thank you for showing the way, thank you for leading the way. Your experience could be a map for others, it could be a clear path for others to look down....a light at the end of the tunnel.

I have knelt and prayed for strength if I were to encounter such a tragedy or loss. How would I manage? How would I cope? The unknown is scary to so many of us. But thank you for showing us the way, for unveiling the "unknown" to us, and helping us see that is is possible to endure.

Bless you-Natalie

Hi Jennifer,
I found your blog through a mutual friends'. I have to tell you that I have been so touched by your writing. You give a perspective to life that truly reaches right to my heart. I live in Mesa and I remember when Kamber's accident happened. I have a child close to her age and I can tell you that I have lifted you up in prayer more times than I can tell you. I have cried so many tears for a child and family I have never met. I have been a better mother, more appreciative and more patient. Kamber's life has changed many people and I am one of those. I will continue to pray for you and thank you for sharing your tears and your HOPE in this journey.

I love it Jen. I love seeing the pictures of Tayler and kylie with her. They love their little sister so much and they'll always have those pictures to remember her. I'll send you our memories. Thinking about her in my head I'm fine, but talking to Tanner and hearing his memories... reliving the memories in my mind feels like we're back to that first week. And that we've lost her all over again. But I'll get them to you.

Thanks for sharing your sweet pictures of Kamber. Once again I am overcome with emotion and tears. What a blessing she has been to your family. Kamber loves having her sisters. You can see how happy she is to be "one of the girls" She is with you Jen, every minute. You can feel her with you. I just wish it wouldn't hurt so much. Even though it is easier said then done...hang in there. You are in my prayers.
