Good Morning Cyd & PA:
Today is a sad day for me. 14 yrs ago today my 21 yr old step daughter was killed in an auto accident by a drunk driver who had just robbed a WaWa. I became her mom when she was 2 yrs old and raised her as one of my own. I have been awake for quite awhile now thinking of that day 14 yrs ago. I remember coming home from work, my daughter Bri was home from school. I had just settled in and there was a knock on the door. It was a police officer who I knew as the town I grew up in and lived in was very small. I remember him saying Ida I have to tell you that you need to get to the hosptial right away there has been an accident and your daughter Lynda was involved. My youngest daughter Jenn was at an away soccer game. I asked him to tell me what happened and he told me I had to get to the hospital right away and to drive safe. I remember trying to be upbeat for Bri as we drove to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital I remember the nurse taking us into a small room just off the ED. In there she told us that they did everything they could for Lynda but could not revive her. That feeling of loss and helplessness and having Bri with me and needing to support her I remember feeling so overwhelmed and lost. I love you my beautiful daughter.

Ida, you are surrounded by friends here! Take care of yourself and try to move your focus from the tradegy to the joy you feel from all of the wonderful moments and memories you have of her. Celebrate her life.
While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil.

Thank you Swede. Some years are harder than others. My two other daughters are always with their dad on this anniversary so I have no one to share it with that was there. Gene is a wonderful support on this anniversary as well as the upcoming anniversary of my mothers death. Both were suprises and within 3 weeks of each other. Unfortunately being married to my ex during all this I was unable to greive and with him being the abuser he was it was a time I almost didn't make it through. So there is a lot going on this time of year with me. Thank you for caring. I did speak with my youngest daughter yesterday and we had a wonderful discussion of all the fun and good time the three girls had together, be it their adventerous misthevious times or those time we all just cuddled on the couch reading or watching TV. She even reminded me of the time I tried to teach the three of them to crochet. Lynda and Bri got it, Jenn was so frustrated she took a pair of scissors to the ball of yarn and cut up the entire ball....We laughed and cried together for the first time yesterday. It did end up a celebration of Lynda's life.
