Since Kamber has past away life has been so much harder in a lot of ways but sad to say some things are easier. I remember after she had past someone said to me your life now is going to be a little bit easier, in some ways. At that time I could not even comprehend that. Life to me was harder than it had ever been and I felt for sure that it would be that way forever.
A little over a year has past and yes that statement made to me in those first days has rung true in some ways. For instance going to do things away from home is always easier with one child as apposed to two children. Hummm, other than that I don't think life is any easier.
So as I go today to get some things done away from home I think of Kamber and what it would be like with her here. I see moms with a couple of kids out doing their shopping and I smile at how sweet and what would have been for myself. Life, I am sure would be crazy but I know now that crazy is worth every minute.

I know it is crazy with two kids when i run errands. I need to think more like you. tresure the time I have with my kids. You are a great example to me. Thank you for all that you do for me.
If we only knew what our future holds we would cherish every minute with more meaning and purpose. You have a constant reminder of how quick life can change. Your points of view on life help bring me back from the chaos of life and to see what really matters.
I think the same thing sometimes. I see a family with a newborn and sometimes I see how sweet it is and then sometimes I see the hectic, stressful side of it. So I feel those mixed emotions as well. But regardless, it always makes me miss Elizabeth. She would be about 8 months old now. I can imagine all the fun, sweet and cute things she would be doing. It breaks my heart.
Jen, It's funny that I always feel guilty when I am cursing Addison's name over the things she does that seriously keep me WAY too busy cleaning up or chasing her. I think of you and how you would give anything to have to chase your girl through the store, or clean up her spilled cereal, broken bowls on the floor, etc. It helps give a little perspective . . . sometimes ;)
