she's our youngest and she's naturally sweet... very thoughtful, loving and caring... she loves christmas and she always decorates our christmas tree and helps me cook christmas dinner for the family...

after her death, our christmases are never the same... the christmas tree wasn't up for christmas 2008 as my mom doesn't want to celebrate it... we just went straight to bed after attending mass... but before i left for the UK, i made sure the christmas tree is up this year as we have our little 3-year old nephew running about the house and would like to experience christmas... i just hope that my mom didn't bring it down when i left for the UK...

oh well... such is life.. onward we all go after a tragedy...
I am so sorryIt must be very upsetting for you and for your family.I hope time would heal the wounds

i guess at christmas,it just makes it seem worse.

sadly there will be many unexpected deaths in the run up to christmas and the new year

we should just try to support those who are in need
I know
