My mind today is sure going. Thoughts just keep flooding in. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I went to an angels brunch. A brunch with all women I have met after I lost Kamber and they have lost a child also. We don't meet all that often. We try really hard to meet every 6 months. There is a special connection. One that has come because of the road we travel in life. I really don't think any of us would have met had we not lost a child. A friendship we would all give up to have our kiddos back with us. But here we are, friends! I love these girls and that love for them just comes natural for me. I can see them for who they are and know them more than what's on the outside. Maybe because we are so vulnerable, losing a child will do that to you. It literally brings you to your knees. Each one of these ladies has been on there knees or flat on the floor for that matter because of the pain, we all know the pain.
I've never officially said on my blog what religion I am, but hopefully by reading my blog you already know that I'm a Mormon. One of the things that we believe is that we lived with our Heavenly Father and Mother before we were born. We believe that we were spirits before we came to this earth and that we are spirits when we leave this earth. We resided in a heavenly home and we are all brothers and sisters. We knew eachother before we came to this earth. I believe some of us knew eachother really well and others we didn't. So as I was thinking today after my brunch with these ladies, the thought came to me "I'll come find you." What if I knew these women before we came to this earth. Maybe I knew them well or maybe I didn't. Maybe we knew before that we were going to lose a child. If we did, maybe we told eachother "I'll come find you." I believe we knew life was going to be hard. I don't know that we knew what our trials on earth were going to be. Maybe we knew we were going to travel the same roads in life that were not going to be easy, therefore we would find eachother to help us down this road. Or maybe our angel children have helped us find eachother knowing we need it. Knowing that they can't always be by our side but that we could lift eachother up. Who knows how it all really works, but I am so grateful that I know these women. Since we have to travel this road, why not travel it together.

My heart aches again for you, but a beautiful post Jen.
So sad you have to be apart of that club but so happy you have those wonderful women in your life :) Sending my love to all of you gals :)
Yes, I am glad that we also found each other, even though we have never met. Arizona and Florida are far, but our little angels did bring us together despite the distance. It is comforting knowing that there are others who share that same pain and heartache, it makes it a little more bearable and a lot less lonely. Thinking of you!

This post brought me chills and made me a little teary. I am so sad that you (and all your friends) have to travel this road, but like you said, at least you have each other. I love that thought, "I'll come find you." How many people are in our lives because in heaven we promised to find each other. Such an inspiring thought. Thanks, Jen.
