I remember reading on comics related blogs about the passing of your daughter and I have to admit I was incredibly saddened.<br /><br />I fancy myself a courageous person and at times I've found myself thinking about what to do when and if I eventually lose my parents/loved ones, etc. I've told myself that I'd cope with the pain and continue marching on. But to be honest, I have absolutely no idea what I'd do if I ever lose one of my kids. To lose a daughter/son (specially at such a young age) is somethig I don't wish upon anyone, not even the most horrible person in the world. <br /><br />Nonetheless, here we are and life deals us the cards it finds convenient. Thank you so much for doing this. I cannot possibly relate to your situation and even though I don't know you, I'd like you to know that you have my thoughts and my hopes of a brighter tomorrow.Giancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748542762788081116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527549.post-64816943315907383202012-10-22T18:12:42.597-04:002012-10-22T18:12:42.597-04:00I'm so very sorry.
