The Jebber Family Blog

The past couple of days have been some of the saddest I have ever experienced in my entire life.
I am grieving for the loss of a young woman who's 14 years on this planet greatly overshadow my existence. Amber, you are inspiring. You are an inspiration to me every single day. For knowing you, I want to be better.
I am not an emotional basket case(the way I think about one)...I am answering the phone (almost) every time it rings. I have answered because I know you care about me, and your phone calls have meant the world. Listening to me LOOSE it and sob and scream to you has helped me face my friends with a bit more dignity.
Thank you for COMPLETELY rearranging your days. Finding babysitters for your children. Thank you for taking time out of your EXTREMELY busy schedules to hold my hand and to hug me. Thank you for taking days off work to be with Amber's Family and to cry with me.. with us. I could have NEVER done this alone.
I am amazed at your strength. I am overwhelmed by your love. I truly do not feel I deserve you. There are no words. So I will say,
Thank You. I love you.
PS: Tomorrow I may not answer my phone. I am spending the day holding my kids. Appreciating each and every second the day allows.
But I promise if you need me, I will be here!
