Just another day! / Meme (grandma) Your gone, you were here with us for a short 2 years. 2 years use to be along time until you were taken from us. Who would have ever known it was going to happen? We had you here with us and we loved every minute. You made us all smile and laugh and cry! You are a special baby and to know that on that day what was going to happen. It still hurts as if it was yesterday. I still cry as if it was yesterday. Our hearts still ache for you as if it was yesterday. The pain no one will ever know unless it happens to them. I go on about my daily routines because I have to. Inside I still ache of pain from the loss of you. I see small children with their moms and grandparents and it just makes me ache more. I see parents with their children and want to tell each of them to hold on to every second they have with them because you don't know what could happen and when or what. I see parents being mean and just want to say to them hey you wake up and stop that! They don't know how lucky they are to have a child that won't sleep at night, that crys all the time, doesn't listen, gets into things, cuts their own hair, wets their pants, sucks their thumb, gets in trouble at school I could keep on going but I will stop. Who cares what they are doing you can still turn to that child and give them a hug and kiss and tell them that you love them. And love every minute of it. Let them be kids and be thankful they are still around to not listen and to get into things and all that stuff they are not suppose to do. Along with the bad comes good! Only if we could go back into time or rewind our days, Kamdyn you would still be here with your family. I love you and miss you so much and I will keep telling you this for ever. Until the day I die. When you left us here a part of me left with you. Everyone has gone on with their lives and I know thats what we have to do, your Meme just isn't the same. Nothing matters like it use to and things just are not as important as they use to be. I guss my life has changed. I am trying to stay strong because I know I have to be. I have your Momma and Aunt BB that need me and I need them. I am excited about your baby brother coming but at the same time I am scared to death. I know that his due date is on your birthday which is special and he's a boy and I can tell by his face in the sonogram that he's going to look just like you. You know Kamdyn you taught me one thing for sure! I thought being a Mother was a hard job but little man you made being a grandma twice as hard. You gave me something that I will never for get or that can never be taken away from me. That was a very special gift and I will never let go of it. Now it's twice as hard being a grandma of an angel. You don't know how much I miss you. I just wish I could scream it out loud so the world could hear me. But I know you had rather I didn't do that! I guess I am venting to you only to wish you could hear me. Someday you will. Someday I will have you in my arms again. Kamdyn make me strong and send me hugs and kisses. The days here on earth are hell without you here. I miss you and love you and think of you every single day. Kisses and hugs from your meme. I love you Bubby! :(

I found this site by doing a google search for "kamdyn", my 3 year old daughter's name. It brought tears to my eyes...more so from Aunt BB's perspective, because this past summer I lost my twin nieces who were born prematurely. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and may God's blessings be great with the newest addition to your family. You have a beautiful son! Close
If Only Our Children Were Easter Eggs If only our children were Easter eggs, Hidden safely in the grass, We could search for them and pick them up, And hold them within our clasp.
We'd have a heavenly Easter egg hunt, All with baskets in our hands, Searching with a broken heart. Only WE can understand.
"Oh, look I found your child over here", "Hey, did anyone find mine?" They are so beautifully colored, And they sparkle and they shine...
These aren't your usual Easter eggs, They each have their own special glow, That comes from way down deep within, Only a grieving parent would know. We gather up our special eggs, With excitement all around, For the gift that we've been given, For the treasure we have found.
We all now stare with wonderment, At our children that have died. We want to hold them once again, And release them from inside.
But we all begin to realize, We have to crack their beautiful shell, The one that, makes them sparkle and glow, The one they have earned so well.
We know we can't destroy their beauty, And take them from their place, So we give them an understanding kiss, As a tear runs down our face.
One by one we take our baskets, With our beautifully colored eggs, And place them gently in the grass, As we turn and walk away.
We look back in amazement, As our eggs begin to sing. We see them flutter and move about. "Look, our eggs all now have wings."
Then the Golden Egg begins to speak... "Your children are safe with me." "You'll be with them when the time is right," "Together for all eternity."
We stand their in a circle of love, As we look up to the sky, Watching our radiant eggs take flight, Knowing our children didn't die.
I don't know where to start. I'll start here. Today is Valentine's Day and I miss you so much. I can just see you eating your heart of M&M's Candy! With chocolate all over your face and hands and you asking Meme for more. I would give them to you too you know that!
Mommy's wedding is coming up this weekend and you not being here it gets harder everyday it gets closer. It's hard for your Momma and Aunt BB too. We all miss you so.
Momma and DaDa getting a house and you not being here to share the excitement! Instead we get to share the, I really don't know what to call the feeling, of going to the cemetry and seeing your headstone that got delivered on Sunday. Now we have to pick one picture out of the 3000 pictures of the one that we want on it. I wish I could put them all on there for you. Just to let everyone that walks over to you know how much you are loved and missed and thought of every single day that goes by. I would have a stairway to heaven with all your pictures on it if I could.
I just want you to know little guy that I love you and this is tearing my heart to pieces. I miss you so much and I still don't know why we have to go thru this. It hurts way beyond what anyone could ever imagine or would want to. The longer it's been the harder it's getting. To think what would you be saying and what would you be doing or what you would even look like now. I will never have the answers to those questions I know until we meet agian or you come to me while I am sleeping. I know I heard your voice the other night. You were calling my name. I woke up and had such a strange feeling like I really did hear our baby talking to me. I love you Kamdyn and you know Meme misses you from the bottom of her heart. I am sending you tons of hugs and kisses on this Valentine's Day. I know I would get tons of kisses from your soft tender little lips and I feel your arms squeezing my neck and you saying in my ear , Meme I love you too! Close

Little man Kamdyn,
You have a beautiful smile and you were obviously loved by all of your family.
It's impossible to understand why you were taken away so early. It's heartbreaking for your family who adored you. It's a pain that nobody in the world can ever understand unless you have been through it.
A mother & son's bond is so special and I can see and feel how much your Mummy is hurting.
Hold on to her tight, reach out to her in your dreams and chase Rainbows in Heaven with my boy Cooper. I'm sure you would be great friends together. Two gorgeous cheeky monkeys!

I have a daughter named Kamdyn. I googled her name and found this beautiful site. It is obvious you have spent an awful lot of time on it. My sympathies are with you, as you struggle to cope with the loss.---Jennifer Close

My Favorite Christmas Gift of All / Janet Berry (cousin)
Kamdyn I recieved the best Christmas gift that anyone could ever ask for! Me Me made me a Throw with a picture of you & me!! It is the biggest picture ever it covers the whole throw and that big smile of yours just warms my heart! I can't help but to have tears each time I look at it but I know that when I snuggle up and have it around me I have the BEST LITTLE ANGEL watching over me, forever!! Kamdyn, I have had several dreams where God sent you down from Heaven to play with me and me me at Sonic, again but this time none of us were in any hurry to leave, we wanted to cherish every moment! We laughed and watch you go up the slide the wrong way and we watched you try to do what the other kids were doing! This time you even let me steal one of your fries but not the ketchup! Until at last you walked over to the intercom and pushed the button when a voice came across and said Kamdyn are you ready to come back home and you answered, I guess since you did let me come and play with me me and my cousin Janet , again! And down through the clouds came a motorcycle with Great Grandpa Shorty as the driver, he stayed just for awhile to tell me and me me that he loved and missed us but was taking very good care of you, Kamdyn until we all meet, again! He also said Pa John Allen and Ma Velda, Aunt Betty and Jamie, too were fine and all said to say Hello and we Love you All and to tell Aunt Mary Nell we love her so, also! We can't wait to see you all and have a Hooper Family Reunion, again! Then you gave me me kisses and climbed on the motorcycle behind Great Grandpa Shorty waving and saying I LOVE YOU FOREVER and I will be watching over you all until we meet again! OH MY, WHAT A DREAM! IT SEEMED SO REAL! I LOVE YOU KAMDYN, UNCLE SHORTY, PA JOHN ALLEN, MA VELDA, AUNT BETTY, COUSIN JAMIE, AUNT MILDRED , MA BESSIE, AND ALL THE OTHER HOOPER FAMILY MEMBERS IN HEAVEN, I CAN'T WAIT TO THE NEXT HOOPER REUNION IN HEAVEN , SEE YOU ALL THERE SOMEDAY! MAYBE AUNT RITA CAN HAVE HOOPER REUNION IN HEAVEN TSHIRTS MADE FOR US ALL! HOW ABOUT IT, AUNT RITA?? I LOVE YOU KATHY, WE STILL HAVE EACH OTHER!!!! Close

May God be with you all especailly now, the time of year when our loved ones are missed the most. I too lost a son a year ago this month, he was 25, and the pain seems almost too much to bear, but knowing he is in Heaven eases the pain. The void will never be filled, but the memories you have of your precious boy help carry you through the days, and knowing you will be reunited in Heaven one day..
May God be with you all now more than ever. Our prayers to the family.. The Williams'
hugs to you / T. (freind)
Kamdyn, There are soooo many precious memories of you and your sweet smile. Your mommy, Aunt BB and MeMe and soooo many others miss you and love you very much. You are in our hearts now and forever...just wish there was a way to put you back in our arms too. It would have been done long ago. Keep sending your love back to us...We need it to help fill the hole in our heart where you are missing. Give Jesus lots of hugs for us, until we can be with you both. Big Hugs and prayers sent to you and those who hold you so dear to their hearts. Hugs. Close
WE MISS YOU / Mary (Friend)
We can no longer see your smile, but we never forget your laughter. We can no longer see your face, but we never forget the way you look. We can no longer hold your arms, but we never forget your touch. Life goes on we know, but it's not the same since we lost you. We will always hold these memories in our hearts. Close

Kamdyn is missed and loved. The day I had heard the news, I was crushed...yet again. Kamdyn and my little sister Janine are together. There is no doubt in my mind that she is taking care of him. That was one of her favorite things to do...she loved babies and toddlers. I bet Janine and Kamdyn have become great friends. I ask Janine to come to me in my dreams. One night she came to me...she was drinking a rootbeer float and at some type of carnival or street fair. She was smiling and having a great time. Thats when I knew she was okay. I witnesses her doing what she loved in my dream! Kamdyn is doing the same thing. He has found the same things in Heaven that he loved so much here. He is riding a brand new shiney motorcycle, eating a whole bunch of cake, and laughing and playing ever so content. Don't worry, he got his picture taken with Santa Clause. They are having the time of his LIFE. It hurts, I won't lie...I want to be doing it with them. But just as Billie has said, I am going to work my butt off to get there too. I AM going to play softball with Janine again, I AM going to play with Kamdyn again like at the beauty shop. I AM going to meet them in Heaven. Answers we do not have...we are left with mysteries... But maybe it gives us all something to work towards, a goal to reach?! Close
Kamdyn/ Mommy (mommy)
The past few days have been tough without Kamdyn here. Every time I go to WalMart, or go to the mall, I find myself looking at Spiderman stuff, and wondering if Kamdyn were still here, what would I be getting him for Christmas? A new pair of Spiderman shoes, or maybe a new Spiderman doll? Or maybe even moving up to the older kids toys, and get him something he can actually learn from.
I knew the holidays were gonna be rough, but I never knew they would be this rough. Opening gifts with my family from Kentucky on Thanksgiving, seeing my 2 year old little cousin opening her presents and being merry and joyful - but the absence of my little boy opening his too. I miss his face, I miss his smile, I miss the little faces he would make when he was upset or even filled with joy. I know he's up in Heaven smiling down at all of us, but the pain of not having him here in person, right beside me - it sends all these sharp tinges of pain through my body, and my tears won't stop. I know Kamdyn wouldn't want me to sit here and be miserable through the holidays, but really, how is there a reason to be happy? I get to watch hundreds of little kids go sit on Santa's lap, and open all of Santa's gifts under the tree on Christmas morning, but my little boy wont' be here to even learn about who Santa really was. He may be in Heaven spending his Christmas with the most important people of them all, but I still can't stop wishing he was by Seth and I's side. I still can't stop wishing that all the presents under the Christmas tree could be Kamdyn's. I couldn't stop myself from buying him just one gift this year, if only there were a way to mail it to Heaven. But I know Kamdyn will send and show his love over this holiday season, to all of his loved ones. It may be hard, but in the end, all I can see is Kamdyn's face, and little voice saying, "It's ok Mommy, don't cry for me - I'm happy." Merry Christmas Kamdyn, I love you. Close
Christmas is not Christmas without you here! / MeMe (grandmother)Read >>
Christmas is not Christmas without you here! / MeMe (grandmother)
I love you! I miss you! My heart breaks! This Christmas is going to be so hard without you here! It already is! I see Santa and tears come to my eyes, I hear Christmas music and have tears in my eyes and thoughts of you on my mind. Knowing that this Christmas was going to be so much fun with you. Watching you open your present and make those excited words and noises come out. Being able to understand what you were saying. The hurt of finding the Christmas presents that I had already gotten for you and stuck in the back of the closet waiting for this Christmas to give them to you. Now what do I do with them? Set them in the middle of the floor and cry my eyes out. Thinking and wondering do I keep them or do I get rid of them. Keep them for the next grandbaby or will it hurt to much to see them play with them knowing they were for you. I just take them to the basement maybe someday I will know. I CANNOT tell you how this hurts! I drive down 50 hwy and look across the road and think why can't I just go over there and get him and bring him home! Why does MY GRANDBABY have to be there!? I know, I know there are reasons behind it. You would think that after the pain one human being goes thru loosing a loved one that is very close to them that God would only make you go thru it once. Why do we have to go thru it twice? It's been 29 years ago I lost my dad and it seems like yesterday and it's been only months after loosing my little angel. Death it breaks the heart into. It makes you sad! It makes you angry! It makes you impatient! It makes you have lots of grief! I feel so helpless! I cannot do anything to make the way Kindra and Billie feel. Being a mom there is always something we can do to help. Not this time. Only time and God. I pray for lots of strength and for the anger to go away. For my girls to have peace and to be happy and live a happy life. I love you Kamdyn! Close
