I was away in Florida when the accident happened and it's a longgg story but it shouldn't have happened. Such a preventable tragedy. My mom feels such guilt from the whole thing, it was a sporadic thing that happened. She was such an overprotective worry wart who would NEVER let him go to a pool or anywhere with someone else. She was a real estate agent at the time and was signing a contract for a friend when he asked my mom if Connor wanted to go to the pool with him and his 2 step-children. Naturally, my mom tried everything under the sun to get him NOT to go... but she gave in. But, it's a long story! I just miss him every day. |
I am also sorry about your brother..I lost a nephew in front of our house to an accident that should never have happened.. he was 5 years old. and I was 14 so he was like my baby brother and lived with us at the time.. he was my life at that time.. so I know the loss.. I will never get over losing our Steven.. I am going to be 59 years old.. and I often wondered how my sister and her hubby survived this ordeal.. again I am sorry..but glad you do have the awareness.. fo believe it or not.. many do not when it comes to our yorkies...
hugs girlie... know what your feeling.. anne
