A Good Grief









It is crazy to think that in less than three weeks Kamdyn would be turning 3. In honor of her, we are raising money for a website called http://www.agoodgrief.com/. Molly, the woman who has created this site, lost her daughter Lucy when she was 2 years old after she aspirated on an apple. She now raises money for those who have lost children and can't afford a headstone for their child. If you can, please go to this website and make a donation or contact me and we will collect money and send a check in Kamdyns name. It really is such a great cause and any amount of money you can donate helps.


"We have again the warning voice sounded in our midst, which shows the uncertainty of human life; and in my leisure moments I have meditated upon the subject, and asked the question, why is it that infants, innocent children, are taken away from us. The strongest reasons that present themselves to my mind are these: This world is a very wicked world; and it grows more wicked and corrupt...The Lord takes many away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soo have them again."- Joseph Smith


While I still have a hard time rejoicing in the fact that my Kamdyn is now our angel, I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us. My plan was not his plan, but He has carried my through so many hard days and I know that He is in control and that He truly wants the best for us. I know that we will see Kamdyn again and that if we live in accordance to Gods plan, we will be able to raise our sweet girl again one day.
