My last post was sad and I'm sure depressing, but those were my feelings. It is my reality and I feel that it is better to live through those moments than to run away from them. I insist on dealing with my grief as it comes, I believe it is what helps me to heal and it is what reminds me that Kamber was really here, she was mine, and I love her. Sometimes it feels like a really bad dream, but feeling the waves of grief reminds me of the reality of it all and if it was real then it is real that I am going to be with her again.
The sun did rise the next morning and the sadness had drift away with the night. I woke up happy and ready to conquer the day. Later that afternoon I was driving home and saw that my sister had got into a car accident right out side my neighborhood. I could see that the damage wasn't bad and as I pulled in I could see that she was almost embarrassed that it had happened and that I had pulled up not long after. I hopped out of my car and asked her with a little smirk on my face "So, what's goin' on?" She just smiled back and said I hit that guy. She proceeded to tell me that she had her blinker on to turn left into our neighborhood and he had his blinker on to turn left into the neighborhood on the other side of the street. She didn't wait till he started turning and turned in front of him. Evidently he decided not to turn and keep going straight and kissed that back side of my sisters car. No damage was done to his car that was quite old and beat up already. Thank goodness he was okay and so was my sister.
The more I thought about her accident I realized that had there been cars in the other lanes not far behind the guy that hit her, it would have been a horrible accident. It reminded me again how fast our lives can be taken. Becky had an angel looking after her that day.
We all have bad days but it is nice to know that the sun does rise again. There are just some days that the clouds hide the rays, but the storm eventually will pass. Life is fragile, so lets try to live, love, and laugh more often. If the clouds block the rays let someone lift you up or be that for someone else. Thanks for the love and continued prayers!

Did you ever read Michelle Krainich's post named "My Friend"...I have it on my blog if you want to read it. It describes your waves of emotions perfectly. I'm here anytime you need another "Angel Mom" who just GETS IT...
Love ya,

Please don't stop sharing your totally honest and raw feelings. You have no idea how much they help me. I consider you to be the strongest and most amazing woman I have ever met. So knowing that you allow yourself to break every now and then really helps me to know that it's okay. It's okay to fall on your knees and cry.
I can totally picture you with that smirk on your face and I can totally picture your sisters face while you do it ! That made me laugh. But I agree that it is a blessing she wasn't hurt because things totally could have been very different.
Jen- This is Jessica Wise (Doyle) again...
I have been reading your blog since the accident, and I just wanted to tell you how amazing I think you are. I remember going to your house when we were in Jr. high(? - had to be jr. high) and you had said your dad passed away and I remember thinking how strong you were back then and now with how you are handling THIS?!?.... You amaze me.
Please know that because of you and Kamber (and other angel mommies, Crystal Eldredge in particular, she's in my ward) , I hold my babies tighter and I am more aware and conscious of how precious our little ones are... I thank you and Kamber for that...
I wish you peace and I pray for you and your healing in this process. :)
Thank you for sharing your words... please continue to be honest.. it blesses more people than you know.
