Thank you...

I am sorry for your family’s loss also.
How tragic for a young mother and a young child to go through. I know your heart was breaking also to see your daughter and grandchild go through the pain of losing a loved one.

My niece and nephew are older. My nephew is 22 and my niece is 17. He loved both of his children no doubt but his daughter was definitely a daddy’s girl.

I lost my father when I was 18 and I am the youngest of 4 kids. My siblings were already moved out of the house. I just know how hard it was for me at the age of 18 to lose my father (even though he did not die suddenly - he had fought cancer for many years) and now my niece has to go through the same thing at such a young age and then on top of it she has to deal will the sudden loss of her father due to a car accident. It just breaks my heart.

It is frustrating also that my sister and I live so far apart from each other also and that I cannot be there by her side while she is going through all this. I am just a phone call away but it not the same as being able to just drive over to her house to give her or her children a hug when they need one the most.

Thanks for listening to me vent... I think I am going to go to bed. I will probably be on line tomorrow to see what can be learned about the DNA results.

I'm sorry for your family's loss and for your loss too. I lost my dad when I was 20 years old and my brother was 24, and I was also a "Daddy's girl". It was, and has been, the worst hurt of my life, and I resented it so much when people told me, "Time helps", and, "I know exactly what you're going through". I knew they meant well, but I think, "I am so sorry for your loss" would have meant more to me then. Time does help eventually, but while you're grieving and hurting so badly you can't accept it.

I'll be going to Columbia to visit our older daughter and her family before they go on a trip during Spring Break. Hate to miss all that will be going on this thread, but I'll catch up tomorrow night.

May God bless, comfort, and sustain your sister, her children, you, and all your loved ones.
