How did it happen? Really feel sorry for your mother. To have to live through two such tragedies. To loose a child is the worst kind of pain no matter how old the child is. How many of you siblings in your family? <BR/>Feel very bad that you lsot your brother few months before your child was born - must have been so difficult...hard to celebrate the moment fully when you carry such a loss in your heart...noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-15641682687467982102007-08-17T13:43:00.000-07:002007-08-17T13:43:00.000-07:00I too feel this way every now and then (having los...I too feel this way every now and then (having lost my brother recently and my father when I was a kid). My brother passed away 5 months before my daughter was born and it feels really bad that he never even got a chance to see her. It's really hard for my mother. I keep asking 'why us?'...more so 'why my mother? - how much suffering can one person bear in her life?'Collection Of Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379268249880680384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-31021865889561052182007-08-17T07:09:00.000-07:002007-08-17T07:09:00.000-07:00He is with you..

I lost my flatmate and dear dear friend in an aircrash 10 years ago this month. And not a single day goes by when I don't in some way think about her. After every emotion of her passing went past me, in time I have come to think of her as my gaurdian angel. Your dad is surely yours. And those memories you have are real and forever untinged by events - how your kids do things, traits they have and you have are all inherited, pieces of your father...30in2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/17890962493413799278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-9611643189766768502007-08-09T15:08:00.000-07:002007-08-09T15:08:00.000-07:00My dad passed away when I was around 10 years old....My dad passed away when I was around 10 years old.

He will always be the grand old man dominating the stories you will tell your children about their grandfather.

Not even so much when I think of my dad - but when I see some others around going through so much worse. I do take consolation from the fact that he did not suffer - just two days in the hospital and he was gone. He would have hated to be dependent on anyone.<BR/><BR/>Tharini - Thanks.
