   I know the meaning of grief. I lost my daughter at age of 14. People aren’t used to grief. Society doesn’t like to face it. For them, we are many times heroes. But we aren’t. We are people who HAVE TO survive to a terrible loss or die. As we can’t die, we survive. That’s what we are, survivors. Each day and each hour. Every morning I wake up and think:”God, help me to go through the day.” Now I’m in peace with Him. But I asked Him many times why my beautiful 14 year old green eyed teen had passed away. She simply closed her eyes and she never opened them again. Her heart stopped beating. She had a boyfiend who was in love with her, lots of friends, was a lovely girl. And so…I was robbed from my treasure, I thought. Now, people say she is an angel. She really looked like an angel, but it was too early to my angel to fly. She was my only one.
   I can’t find a reason to live, but I live. Maybe to not hurt my mom, my brother and my nephew who love me. I think about them every day to not kill myself. As I think you found in your sweetie a reason to keep alive. That’s why we say we aren’t heroes, we are human beings, tragedy knocked our doors, and we are surviving. God bless you two.
