Amber, you are a rockstar, warrior! The way you are honest and open about River and your struggle is inspiring. I wish every child had a momma like you!
@@cocomartin8269 you are strong like Amber. Some of us mamas have to look deeper for the strength but, Coco we all have it. 🌹🤗🌹 I’m 71. Trust yourself. The strength is right beside you 🌸🤗 .
I totally got teary eyed watching all those kids play together at the end of the video knowing their loss and seeing their strength together. We can all learn SO MUCH from our super strong kids. You and Nicole are amazing women and raised some great kids!! We can tell just by that little glimpse of them there at the end of the video 😊
River died when my son was 4 or 5 months old. His story was why I got my baby into Infant Swim Rescue Lessons around 1 year later. I was dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety, but the ISR brought a smidge more peace of what might happen whenever we were near a body of water. And we might not have done it if it weren't for little Riv.
Riv changed my life for the better in several ways. We also made sure our kids had swim lessons. Riv and my son are only two weeks apart in age. I wish you the best. God Bless.
Amber..this was what I was referring to in my prior post..that God decided to take River so that River could do ALL KINDS OF WORK on the other side..and LOOK at all River has done!!! OMG...River has managed to change the lives of COUNTLESS CHILDREN AND FAMILIES!!! JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌😇❤️🙏👏
Ok I'm in tears! I'm so proud of you Amber! I'm honestly speechless. May God continue to bless you and share your courage. River is watching over you all now. ❤
Amber, I wish I could just give you a big hug! But just know that in those moments when you are struggling, Little River is by your side holding your hand! 💙 saying "don't cwy mama" Sending love and prayers from New Mexico!
I’ve not walked in your shoes, but as a pediatric nurse I’ve seen parents loose their child. God love and bless you for sharing your loss, and Maverick’s gain. Love to you
Choose to believe in yourself and your abilities. You are a strong and independent person. Have a Beautiful and Blessed evening/ day and week. See y'all tomorrow. Stay safe. God Bless.
I wish I could reach through this screen and give you a big hug Amber ! I have not gone through such a tragedy as your family and many others have. But my heart has such sympathy and love for those who have. What I do know is that grief over the loss of a loved one hits you in waves. Somedays it's a huge tidel wave, other days not as big a wave. I am nearly at the 12 year Angelversarry of my beloved Husband. Those waves still come in when I least expect them. What I'm trying to say is that you need to feel those feelings and I feel so honored to be one of us that get to hear you express them. Know you and your family are always in my heart and prayers from a Kansas Grandma ❤️ 👵
I wonder how many kids will be saved because you had the courage to share this journey with us. I'm confident that your reach will go far beyond anything you could ever imagine. Some parent will hold their child, hug him/her tight, put him/her to bed, and then wake with him/her again the next morning because you gave that parent the courage to do ISR for their child. I thank you in advance for this.
@David Bowe, beautifully said, and may I please take this opportunity to personally thank you for being so kind and helping me fix a mistake I made in chat on a previous video. Have a blessed day.
I watched with a lump in my throat… feeling so much emotion for you sweet sister Amber. Appreciate how very honest & real & genuine you are with all of us. What a blessing to peek into your lives twice a week! I am always thanking the good Lord for His love that shines in y’all. 💙♥️
Here I am again…always crying with Amber! Love your hearts and pray for you every single day!!! Can’t wait for May 7th and my meet and greet. @GrangerSmith bring the camera!
I continue to be impressed with London's instructor. I truly appreciate every aspect of how she does her training. I also want to thank you again for taking us along on this ISR journey. I never knew what this was until you shared it with us. It's such important work. This is the perfect example of taking a trial and turning it into a triumph. #YeeYee
Wow it amazes me how well an infant can do with proper training in the water the way Mav has done! I would love to go to school to be an instructor for ISR!
Nicole, I'm so very sorry for your loss ❤️🙏. I think it's fantastic such warrior Mom's you & Amber are❣️ Thank you, thank you for being there for our Smith Family 💞
Amber Thank you for sharing. I can't say I know what you went through losing river. I think it's a great how Maverick is learning how to swim and survive in water. Your doing such a great job being a mom.may God bless you and your family.
Amber, you are such a strong woman. It would be easier to shy away from taking Mav to ISR lessons but you are doing it because you know how important it is. I cannot imagine what you have been through but I'm so proud of what you're doing.
Aww....virtual hug your way. I can't imagine the trauma stress involved. I am so proud of you for staying the course. Maverick is so SWEET! I see Granger's deep eye color in his face. I think of your sweet River often. God bless you and your family.
Amazing that Maverick has mastered survival at such a young age. I have no doubt River is with him helping. You are amazing too Amber , blessing you found ISR. That should be taught in every town/city/state. Should be a pamphlet and discussing given at hospitals after the birth of every baby.
Mrs. Amber I really have no words....I cry with you because of little River also tears of joy and happiness seeing a glimpse of those kids playing...may God hugs your heart guide you through this process, seeing Mav doing so good was so beautiful. Much love to you all Mr Amber and the entire Smith family.
🍀🍀🍀🍀 sending warmest hugs and prayers I would imagine it would be so much easier on your heart to just avoid the water, this is clearly not always the answer. Great job Mama and Maverick for your hard work.
I can’t imagine that pain you feel in your heart when you relive some of them emotions when you lost River, I will say I can see Gods Grace in you every step of this journey and how precious you are for sharing this with all of us. Thank you!! May God continue to bless your family!!
Im in West Virginia I would give anything to be able to see you in concert. Bet it will be an awesome show. I love your family and music... Y'all are awesome
Amber dear sweet mama, your tears are my tears having lost my son also. Your bravery and courage are Gods signs to others ,that hope and peace, and even joy still exists after terrible loss. God does not shield you from the pain of loss, but teaches us how to use our faith to push through the pain knowing we will once again see the faces of those who have passed. I KNOW my son waits for me and that brings me joy. River waits for you. See him in the clouds as the winds blow them by. Hear him in the silence of the woods while the birds are singing to your soul. He is all around you strengthening your faith. Gods peace be with you and with your family. 😘
Amber, thank you for sharing. You’re so strong and your love for God and others is such a testimony. Maverick is beyond precious. May God continue to bless your family as you are a beautiful blessing to others.
You are doing so well Amber. And so is Mav. It’s ok to be emotional. I was just watching him in the pool. Thank you Lord for all you do for all of us. 🙏🏻💗
Little Mav is doing so good in his swim lessons,glad he is sleeping better. Granger,I love to hear you sing,you are very taltened.Better than alot of the other singers.
I can’t even begin to think how difficult this was for you and your children. You did it and you have so much strength. You are so Loved, my friend and how Blessed you were to have someone who could be at your side during this. God Bless for you and your friend and her family and all other families that have been through this. ❤️🎈🙏🏻🦋
Amber and Mavi- you are going to touch so many lives by showing us ISR. I hope that the good Lord puts wings on this endeavor, and I pray that it becomes a national movement. God bless you all, especially Maverick and River.🥰🥰
You are so brave an courageous Amber thanku for sharing ..you are a terrific mother the end of the video waa so beautiful ..you are all incredible thanku so much love and God bless always x
God Bless you all as you share the hard stuff to encourage all those who are watching! All Glory to God for what He is doing through your willingness to share with the world!🥰🙏🏼
A sweet friend to come all that way. Your tears are for joy and loss. It is still hard on your heart sweet memories and sad too of River. What a gift you are giving Maverick and teaching other parents the importance of water safety. You should write a book on Maverick’s journey of water safety and teaching a baby to survive in the water.
Amber 💖 you have such a big heart & I cant even describe what it's like to have lost your Son River because it's not happened to me 😥 I just want to THANK YOU for being so BRAVE & this ISR Education is going to help & save so many children 🙏 you are an Incredible inspirational Woman 👏👏👏 💖 love from Australia 🇦🇺
We just completed ISR last week with our 2 year old because of River. I even got my sister to take her 1 year old too. I tell everyone about ISR, especially all my friends with little ones. There were days I got teary-eyed watching my son compete ISR, I cannot imagine how you feel. You and your entire family are so strong though!
Your light is knowing that your saving your child before it could happen. You are learning and thriving with Maverick. Its ok to let those emotions our. And they can bring you down if you don't let them out. Y'all got this!!
God bless you and your family. Of course your emotions are all over honey you have been through so much and you are moving forward in your own time. Praying for your peace and sleep
Amber thank you for being so vulnerable. Even though I don’t know you personally, I feel like I do because you are so open and honest! Hoping to meet you on this side of heaven to give you a big hug!
Amber you are such a strong woman. May you be comforted by the Holy Spirit as you read this. You and Grainger work so hard. You are great parents. Blessings
God Bless you Amber , I know that only God could give you the strength to watch that baby in the water, I wish I was that brave , You are such an inspiration . God Bless You ❤️
Your strength is beyond admirable, Amber! And WOOO HOOOO on Mavy sleeping all night!! Sent you something in the mail the other day, hope you all love it! 💕
I can feel your fear. I’m sure it’s nothing near the pain you have, but then there’s the joy you feel as he masters this challenge. God bless all of you.
This was very heart warming and gut wrenching all rolled into one !! The minute I saw your tears..to the smiles on all the kids faces...what an amazing wonderful week...and sleeping..a whole night's sleep...that's amazing... Love seeing London saddling her horse up...and Granger's Meet and Greets...the Smiths are the Best!!
I cannot imagine how difficult it is to see your precious baby under the water after what you have been through. Thanks so much for sharing your most personal times, for educating everyone here, and for being so honest about how difficult this is,, but necessary.
My heart hurts for you and what a brave and awesome thing with ISR you are doing for Maverick. River is looking down upon all of you with joy and love. Hugs for you. My daughter is doing ISR in two weeks with our one year old grandson and I’m so glad. I have encouraged her to follow you and watch the Arise with Amber and how wonderful those messages are. God give you continual strength as you go through this most difficult but rewarding process. We the all the Smith’s. 😘💜💛💜
You are so strong to do this. I'm sad Granger was not home to support you though this tough one. I admire your strength and determination to get through it for Mav's sake. It is apparent how difficult it was. Proud of you and so happy for the connections you and the kids made with the instructor and family!
So much emotions in tonight's episode but keeping it real. Amber you always end Arise saying "you are chosen" and He did indeed choose you to share His word but also to show His mercy, He knows the ISR was hard for you but He gave you the strength to not only handle it but to share it. I am sure so many are thankful because of this.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know it’s not easy but you are helping so many others be educated and learn how to protect our kids/future families.
We lost the matriarch of my mother's family recently. Its hurt our hearts but there is light in the darkness. We have never leaned on each other so much. We're learning we are stronger together than we thought.
Awe, I wish I could give you a hug! This Grandma loves you! You are an overcomer! Amber you truly what is best for your kids! You are a woman of God! You and Granger are excellent parents..make a great team! God Bless and lots of love to you all! 💞
TY for sharing your story you are strong & a warrior. Its ok your feeling are so valid...You are helping so many by sharing your story of River for he had a fearless & beautiful soul as an angel 😇 he is watching over ya'll. ❤️ his especially Maverick
I’m so proud of you momma, you and baby have come far since last week. I’m thankful you have awesome woman you can turn to. Keep going, lives are being changed! 💕💕💕
Amber - my heart rejoices with you and weeps with you as well! God bless you guys ALWAYS! Thanks for sharing and always being so real. We are all grateful for you and your family!
The tears are rolling down my cheeks. Amber both you & Maverick got this!! You are so strong to watch him as he learns how to maneuver in the water by floating, etc.. Such hard goodbyes but you will be life long friends & she will love to hear about Maverick's progress. Love all of you ❤ Have a Blessed Week 🙏
Knowing what your Family and the instructors family has gone thru, I was definitely feeling those emotions watching Maverick floating and learning to roll over in the water to get air.
Amber, you are a rockstar, warrior! The way you are honest and open about River and your struggle is inspiring. I wish every child had a momma like you!
Same i wish i was strong like you
