Default Jessica Michelle

My daughter Jessica died 12/26/08. She was very loved by all that had met her. She was handicapped from day 8 at a military hospital in Va. She was 25 years old but had the capacity of a 4 month old. Jessica was in and out of the hospital all her life but seemed to always be able to bring a smile out when I needed it the most. My wife had dedicated her life to the care of Jessica which included alot of things I could not have done and is devistated of this loss. I know people say that there is a reason for everything, but I cannot find it, as of yet. People tell me she is in a better place but that does not help me and the wife. This is going to be the worst year/decade/rest of my life than I could have even imagined. I don't know how I will ever get past this but I know I will.

Here is a link to her memorial if anyone wants to see her.

I am truely sorry for your loss.
I lost my brother at an early age and thought at the time I couldn't go on. We were the only family each other had. Over time the pain got easier but you never forget and things still make me think of him.
My daughter stopped breathing when she was only a few weeks olds from a lung infection and spent a week at childrens. I drove around crying thinking I was going to lose her.
I can't imagine the pain of losing a daughter.
I can only say think of the good times you had together!

Sorry for your loss. My family will be praying for you and your wife. I lost my wife almost 2 years ago. I'm still asking why. Sometimes life is to short. The old saying time heals all wounds I don't believe. In time things will be OK they don't heal they just get OK.

My sympathies for you & your family on your lost.

As far as a reason for everything, I've always heard that too. All I got to say is God had better make me a LOT smarter on judgment day when the explanation comes out as to why some people have died way before their time in order for me to understand.

outlawstang said it right.
