..the topic, I think of you and your daughter. Such a loss changes you forever.
My family endured the same kind of loss when my brother, 3 years younger and my only sibling, died in a winter scuba diving adventure gone wrong. He was 23. He would be 69 now.

If I remember correctly, you have a son. Please let him know that someone is thinking of him, too, today.
