I am so, so sorry and sad to hear about your dad's passing. I have fond memories of him from our days on Ginger Drive. I have been thinking of him, and of you guys, a lot this week. Unfortunately, I know what you are going through, and if you need anything, even if its just someone to vent to, please let me know. My thoughts are with all of you during this time.
MomMom,
I cannot imagine the pain you are going through in losing a child. If there...
