Granger Smith’s Wife Amber Says She Looks at Pics of Late Son River to Feel ‘Closer to Him’
Finding meaning after loss. Since Granger Smith and his wife, Amber, lost their three-year-old son River back in June, the couple has been very open about their grief. Amber recently shared how she is reminded of her son every day on Tuesday, September 11.
“I was looking at photos of Riv, which I do allll the time. It helps me feel closer to him,” the mom wrote. She continued to detail how she receives signs of his presence and sometimes from the photographs she sees. This time, her signs from above were cemented in actual signs River had played with just two years prior. “Riv was sitting on them (the signs) and I wanted to re-read the verses. Some people may say this is just a coincidence, but for believers, there are no coincidences. I think this was God reminding me of his promises. It was something I was meant to see and the comfort it brought me was palpable.”
Amber took to her Instagram Story to share yet another sign from her son. “I was in Germany with Granger a couple days ago and I was thinking, ‘Gosh I wish I could just see Riv in a dream and he would tell me he is ok,’ ” she continued. “The next morning a good friend from high school messages me this … ”
The message read, “You know I’ve always had detailed dreams and last night I had a dream about Riv. He was sitting outside, and I asked what he was doing, and he said, ‘tell my momma I’m ok.’” On a screenshot of the exchange, Amber wrote, “sometimes God works through other people.”
River passed away on June 6, due to an accidental drowning at the family’s home in Georgetown, Texas. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family as they continue to find the light during this dark time.
