Anyway, I've received a few PMs and would love to continue the discussion via PM, but if my comments have created a distraction in this thread about Kyle, I really apologize for that. Please ignore my little rant and press on... The Sweets certainly need all the support they can get.

Eight, what type of cancer did your sister-in-law have?

yea. makes no sense sometimes.
we will all go sometime i guess. but it is just as hard for me to see a baby go, a beautiful young wife, a young grandmother, barely acquainted with her grandchildren, as it is to see an old man in his 80s. "you should be thankful. he lived a good long life." what?? that is supposed to make it ok?
i dunno and I can't begin to understand how people feel that have lost loved ones like this. i just pray for some comfort for them, for you, somehow.
we remember the good things that they brought us as our comfort when we miss them. even though we wish that we could have had them longer.

Thanks Debbie. There was a line from her that struck me when I read her news on Andrew's front page & that is "His ways are hard to understand". That about sums up what I've struggled with after my mother's fight & death from breast cancer. I still don't understand & I want answers I'll never get. But you're right, I (& my father & brother) find comfort now in all the memories of the great life she lived, the life she gave me, & the life going forward in my little ones, her grandchildren. I just miss her so deeply.
Love ya Deb.
