all I can say is I am sorry. I read this and cried but what human with a heart would not cry. To loose a child is the worst thing in the world. I lost my cousin last year. he saw a fight going on and tried to break it up as he hated violance. when he went to help the guy up who was being beaten he was shot 12 times in the back. That phone call was recieved almost 1 year ago and it still feels like it was today that I found out. The pain stays with you and it will never go away. I wish it would but it won't. I am so sorry for your loose but I do know the pain all so well. just know that your neice is in a better place. That is what helps me get threw the days is just knowing he is watching over me.

Dec 19th 2001 I lost my 16yr old Son in a car wreck, I was mad with everyone even God, How could he take my son, He could have given him back, But I never lost my faith, I pray every day. We may not know the reason why on this side of heaven. but God has a plan for all of us, I know alot of peoples life has changed since my sons death, Mine for one, He was a Christian boy and I know he is there in Heaven, Just like I know your 17mos Niece is there also, because of the age of accontabilty she went right into the Lords arms. We are the one's who have to make sure we see them again, and that is easy, ask Jesus into your Heart. I caint wait until he comes for us all.Your Family are in my prayers.
