I have started this post and erased, then re-started typing...erased...not knowing how to start it nor what to say. We lost our friend Kameron Haban yesterday morning. He'd been fighting in the TMC ICU for about 6 weeks now. His dear wife Jami has kept her blog and FB updated througout and I am amazed at her strength and faith. I know she is struggling and has felt pain that most people don't ever have to feel, yet she has remained an example to me. I have learned SO much in these last few weeks from her experience. I am sad that it takes the death of a friend to arouse these feelings, but know that Kameron's death will not be in vain. Today I wasn't as stressed that the laundry wasn't folded. I watched my kids interacting with each other a little closer. I noticed what made them smile, frown, laugh. I am flooded with emotions as I think of the people I love. Those I haven't seen in years. Those I see daily but don't tell them how much I love and appreciate them. I can't imagine losing one of them, or even more, my Jarom.
I am still out of words for this post and am not sure what it's purpose is. But I do know that things are going to be different. I am so grateful for my knowledge of eternity. This life is such a small speck on eternity's timeline...yet sometimes it seems like it's too long...too much to bear. Then I am humbled by an experience such as this one. What a glorious day it will be when we can all be together again-for eternity.
Jami, if you come across this post, I love you. I care, and I wish I could do more. Know that many prayers have and will be said on your behalf. I couldn't stop the tears as I read your most recent post. Thank you for your example. I know you are hurting deep, but I thank you for holding on to what you know is true.

hey girly,
i hope that you are doing okay. it is never easy when a loved one dies. I was just thinking about you the other day. I was going through my mission scriptures and found a letter that you had written me. I think that you are stronger than you realize in the gospel. I cant wait until we move down there and can get together. We just found out that the background check is done, so anytime we could be sent a letter telling us where to go and i will be sure to let you know. I love you and miss you.
love sarah
Nicole, I am so sorry to hear about Kameron's passing. Before he went on his mission he was at EA with me. My first semester I was really sick & he and anther guy came & gave me a priesthood blessing. It was very special. I truly feel for his wife. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
