After six long months Amber came home yesterday. Kaden was happy to see his mom and yet was cautious with his feelings. He loves her unconditionally & he has missed her... as have we, but it's hard to give all your heart when your not sure when she will appear again. We keep hoping that her life will change and that she will fill the empty seat that has been at our table for so long. We keep hoping that she will be there for her beautiful, adorable, amazingly wonderful son. We keep hoping that Kaden will be able to believe she will be there for him.
I have loved watching So You Think You Can Dance this season. Loved. it.
One of the dances that stood out for me was the dance that portrayed addiction. It was so real and something we have lived with for so long through Amber. When I watched this dance I cried. When I think of all that Amber has missed and all that she has lost because of her addictions I cry and cry. I have come to understand that a lot of her choices she gave up when she gave in to the chains of addiction.
We keep hoping that that she will turn to God and that through our Savior's love she will break those chains.
We keep hoping, we keep praying, we will always keep loving her.

We hope and pray for you that she will come back into your lives. I know you must miss her so much. I can't imagine. Stay strong and have faith. Love you!
Linda-
You are so amazing. Your gift of sharing your life in such an open loving way inspires me.
Thank you.
Love you.
Wow Linda, your post really touched me. We know exactly how you feel and how your heart aches. Your posts along with Ally and Amy's have so touched me over the past year. You are all such strong examples of faith, hope and prayer in behalf of loved ones who have lost their way. We can never give up, we will never!
Your family will be in our prayers. We sure do miss you all.
me too mom. love you.
that piece was un.believable... how she captured what so many of us have witnessed within our own families, to people that we love so much. i cried. a lot. i'm SO grateful for the atonement.
You have carried more people through by your example. Thanks for sharing so openly, your faith has made me stronger. I pray for you and Amber all the time. Addiction touches everyone, everywhere, sometime, someway...even though Heavenly Fathers plan is free agency, justice would be letting ALL the mothers loose on Satan for just an hour:)!!
Linda,
That was full of love and hope and heart wrenching thoughts. I hope she can make it this time! We are praying for you all!
Thanks for posting the dance! I have missed "SYTYCD" a lot this season. Now I have watched one! A beautiful one! Amazing!
Bristol is beautiful! I could hardly believe it was him...so big already! What a blessing to be connected to them. I haven't read for awhile. Thanks for writing! I love to see what is going on! You take care! I love and miss you!
