I think of Kamber everyday. There is never a day that goes by that she is not on my mind, but she doesn't consume every moment like she did in the beginning. I have our last family picture on the opening page of our computer. Many times I just glance at it for a second and then open up what I need on the computer. Today I stopped and stared at the picture and was drawn to focus primarily on Kamber. I noticed that she does look a little more like me, especially when I compare her features to mine. The shape of her eyes, the shape of her nose and even her smile. She did get my blue eyes, but hers are a little lighter and more sparkly.
My heart swells every time I look at her. She brings so much happiness, her smile just lights up. This is how she was when she was here, she lit up our lives! I have a little ping in my heart today. I miss her, but I am able to deal. I love days when I really focus on her. It reminds me she was really here, she was mine and IS mine FOREVER. :)
I've never shown this version of our family picture, but it gives a good insight as to how silly Kamber was. Everything was funny and it was always time to be silly. So here she is being goofy before we got our last family shot.
Notice Ethans face. He hates pictures and just wants it done and over with. Now he adores these pictures, but still doesn't like taking them.

Thank you for sharing the "out-take" picture. It's fun to see the reality. Seeing Kamber, head tilted back laughing, made me giggle out loud. Such a little stink.
Hugs Jen.
P.S. Max is adorable.
Tyler is the SAME way - he hates taking pictures. Good thing he knows I'M THE BOSS and when it's picture time, it's picture time : )
I think of Elizabeth often as well. Obviously our experiences are totally different. I don't have the memories or even pictures that you have, but I think about her the same. I wonder if they are friends. And I have told you this before, but I think Kamber and Douglas are probably a lot a like. Douglas is silly all day long !
she is beautiful in every way...thanks for sharing her silly side too. So much personality in such a small person! That was how my Trinity was too...such a character. She lit up my world too...which in turn was a huge loss in every way when she died. I know what I lost...and I'm anxious to hug and kiss my silly little character again!
I love and miss this silly girl!! One day I hope to see her sweet smile again
Thanks for coming over yesterday to see me. I know you are busy but I miss not seeing you guys. I have been thinking about Kamber a lot lately too. I guess because I'm a little depressed it makes me more sensitive. I hope she will be waiting for me when I cross over the veil, it will be a wonderful day seeing her again!
