My daughter

I have become so melancholy today, thinking about my dear departed daughter, Vicki. It was this month that she passed away so many years ago. Something reminded me of her and I really became distraught. Sometimes that feeling comes over me when I am reminded of a young person dying for no good reason. It has been 24 years since she passed away, but it still seems so recent sometimes that I can't help but get emotional. And the worst of it is that I was not a good parent to her; my parents took that responsibility and raised her as their daughter for those years that she was alive. Sorry to be so depressive; I just feel that sometimes things happen in this world for a reason. I wish that I could say that I was a good parent but I wasn't and I have a son too that needs to know that he is loved. We don't keep in touch as much as we should but I know how to get in touch with him and he with me. He is 30 years old and a great guy!! I hope that everyone appreciates their children; they are our future. I know that sounds cliche but it is so true! Vicki was such a wonderful blessing to our family and made such an impact on all of us. God is looking after her now and I know that she is in a better place!
