I lost my 19-year-old daughter to a house fire. She was the youngest of my three children. I still can’t believe she’s gone. She’s been gone 50 days today she passed away on a Monday, February 20. I’m still at a loss for words I know she’s with God, but it’s still hard to believe that I had to bury one of my children instead of my children, having to bury me, which is supposed to happen, but that’s not the normal thing anymore I guess more and more people are losing their children at different ages to different things. I’m learning to cope but still haven’t got used to her not being here still feel so weird.
