March was a very bad month for our family. My niece died March 19 at
the age of 2 months 14 days. 8 days later my best friend (also my
husband's cousin) was in a car acciednt that took the life of her 9
year old daughter. Tho I know neither of these children were mine
and I can't imagine the grief of thier parents I can't seem to cope
with it.

The 9 year old and my daughter were best friends, she and her family
lived with us for almost 3 years.Even after they got thier own home
we still did everything together. The girls played sports together,
we celebrated birthdays together, traveled together, we were
together all the time.

The baby was only with us a short while but all the same we loved
her dearly. I regret that I didn't spend more time with her.

It's so hard for my children. I worry about them. My son (age 5)
still cries in the night, he talks to me, he has so many fears now
and there is so much he doesn't understand and I don't really know
what to say to him. My oldest daughter (age 9) constantly talks
about both girls. Her way of coping is in knowing that the girls are
together in Heaven and they are happy. She also never speaks of them
in past tense, nor will she allow anyone else.

I know i'm just rambling on and on....it's just been so hard for
me..I'm just trying to cope the best way I know how.

Thank you all for listening to me babble,

Please pray for these 2 families.
