Has anyone heard this song by Alan Jackson? This song is so beautiful! My sister told me about it a month ago but I didn't have time to listen to it and then it just fled my mind. Yesterday my sister in law Mindi called and told me I had to listen to a song, that I would love it. I had time to jump on the computer and pull it up. This was the song that struck straight to the heart.
This song talks about my grief and the beauty of passing on. A couple of lines that I really love say:
she flew up to heaven
on wings of angels
and she walks with Jesus
I truly believe that she flew up to heaven with angels. I know with out a doubt that family that has past on were their at her side. She was not alone, she was greeted with loved ones. I also know that she walks with Jesus. She is with him and how special is that! There is beauty behind loss but, sometimes that is really hard to see. Another verse says:
I know she is smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me.
I also know that is true. She is happy and surrounded by loved ones. Her journey here on earth is through and she has made it. I am happy for her even though I miss her terribly. I know that I will be with her again some day and that is what makes us truck on through the sadness.
The two verses that describe my grief are:
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for his love.
There is so much truth is those two verses. There are times my anger is shot straight at God and then I turn and ask or his love. The feelings of grief are so confusing and full of so much raw emotion. Loosing Kamber is the hardest thing I have ever been through and hope it is the hardest never to have to endure this again.
I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father and the tender mercies that he gives our family. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father that loves me and understands me. I am so thankful to know that my loved ones are watching over my sweet Kamber. I know my dad is enjoying having her with him. I am thankful for the special memories I have of Kamber and knowing that she is waiting for me and my family. That will be a WONDERFUL DAY!
The song is on my blog player, click to listen!

Jen, I heard this song for the first time on my way to a dr's appt about a month ago. I thought of you right from the beginning when I heard the words, "Why did she go, so young I just don't know why..."
Tears filled my eyes but then when I heard about the angels I smiled and giggled. I didn't know Kamber well but I know, just as you wrote as well...she has a contagious personality and I can just imagine she is adored in heaven just as she was here and still is. This song is awesome and I love the video too. Thank you for this post.
Jen. I downloaded the song this morning and was able to sit down and listen to it tonight. What a precious song!! It's amazing to me how music can speak to the soul! I am so grateful for music and for its ability to say what many others feel. Thank you for sharing. I will always think of Kamber when I hear this song...I have sort of like a playlist of "Kamber's" songs that mean so much to you. They remind me of what our real purpose is here on earth. Oh how I can't wait for that day for Kamber to jump in your arms!!
What a touching song, I'd never heard it before. I love how amazing music is, it can draw the spirit in or push it away, it can bring joy and happiness, or sadness, but truly amazing how it can touch people in so many different ways. I just love Alan Jackson, this will definitly be a new one on my ipod!!
I found your blog through a friends and I just wanted to say that Kamber and her story really touched me. She's such a beautiful little girl! I cant imagine how hard this has been for you and your family..how awesome is the plan of salvation that you get to be with sweet Kamber again!
Thanks for sharing Kamber's cute little personality with us! :)
