I've going through my daughter's things, and I am trying to honor her and make sure personal letters she wrote and received from friends and boy friends are kept personal and not discovered by her mom, daughter, or brother. I have no interest in reading them, some date back 10 years, and I feel so protective of her. I promised her before she died I would make sure any personal stuff was taken care of. Not to say that she had big secrets, but she was a very private person. I miss her so much! It has been almost 3 weeks since she passed away. The house is so empty without her. I loved being around her. She made me feel so appreciated and loved.

I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. We will never get over our children completely, how can we or why would we want to. My son has been gone for 15 months and some days are harder because each day is one additional day that I have been without him. I am glad you are respectful of your daughters belongings. I lost my Dad this past March but because i am still all consumed by the loss of my son I have not been able to grieve for my Dad. I do miss him a lot.
I\'m sorry you are in this place of grief and pain. As a daughter i see though my own eyes as well as through my Dad\'s eyes what you are feeling. Please know you are not alone, we understand the depths of grief and also the highs..and there will be highs as well as depths. Your daughter is watching over you now, and one day you will feel her presence...((((hugs))) .. you will feel her around you in time i promise.
What a great father you were to your daughter! What strength you are having now! May you be held tightly through this holiday season as it will be hard. I don\'t know what to say... lost my son instantly and that is hard enough... but to lose slowly must have been hard. Thank God you were able to say the things you needed to. Thank God for the comfort of your grandchild. My prayers and thoughts will be with you. I am SO sorry for your lose and am SO in awe of your strength. Glad you are out here for the support and love that can be found.
