This is Kennidy Rebecca, our first child that passed away from SIDS. She was born February 27, 1994. That means she would almost be 15. WIERD!! Cassie, I hope you can find something off of these to pick from. They are all pictures of pictures. She was before the time of affordable digital cameras. Love ya.

this is sweet, bryn. love you.
thanks bryn!
i have 31 students in each of my classes, and i teach 7 classes. spencer teaches much larger classes, ranging between 80 and 100 students! i used to teach his classes for fun--it is so much more difficult with soooo many students. he has about 5 classes, much less than the rest of the teachers. we teach english major students (chase, meg, and i) while spence teaches business students because he's a business guy. i don't feel left out from meg's wedding because i too am helping with a lot of planning! i email mom and megan a lot with ideas, pictures, things i found online, and i have been given an assignment: her wedding video! so i am happy, although i'm so sad to miss all her little parties beforehand. thanks for the advice bryn, for some reason i really needed to hear that today. love you.
I haven't seen some of Kennidy's photos for a long a time. She was absolutely darling! I'm seeing some similarities with Amree. Good to see you tonight! Love ya!
Bryn..what a tender post. She is beautiful, what better reason to do our best here on this earth. You are such a great example of strength & faith! I love all the recent post too! Have a good day! Love you! Kim
Oh Bryn, she was so beautiful! I remember meeting her at one point very vaguely, I must have only twelve or so, and thinking she was so so cute. You are such a strong woman, and I admire that in you so much. Your family as a whole, especially you and Blaine are a great example. I have a good friend who lost her baby to SIDS almost two years ago and she is still having an extremely hard time. I wish that I could do more to help her. She is not a member, but has been asking me lots of questions about forever families and things like that. Do you have any advice?
I don't know. I think that it could be really hard without having hope and faith that you can be together again someday. Maybe you could give her the Together Forever video from the church. It tells a little more about what we believe happens when we lose loved ones. Someone told me one time "The pain never goes away it just becomes less frequent." THis was very helpful for me as then I knew I was not weird for still hurting so much, it was so natural and everything was going to be okay. I was worried that people would forget about her. I do not care so much about that anymore as I have not forgotten her. If your friend has any questions I would be happy to answer some for her. I know that they have a group that meets and talks about this stuff too. I am here for whatever you need or she needs.
Thanks! I was actually thinking about giving her the Together Forever video, so now that you say that I think I will. I just want to be able to provide some comfort to her without causing any more pain. I have mostly been letting her direct the conversations, and telling her what I believe. I talked to her about going to counseling today, but she said that unless a counselor had lost a baby and a husband, they would have no idea what she was going through. (She got divorced shortly after she lost her baby). If it really is okay, maybe I will tell her that I know someone who would be able to understand her pain, and give her your email address or something? I'll let you know in the future if she is interested. Thanks again for your advice!
She was so precious. You guys are so amazingly strong. I remember going to her funeral. I was only 16, but I was so impressed with the strength you two had. I think my testimony was strengthened that day. I knew that you KNEW you would see her again. It is so nice to know that we will see loved ones again.
Amen Libbie
