You're right Janet. As a child, it's hard to comprehend that growing older means bad things happen...to friends, to family, to yourself... You never think about people that are such permanent figures in your life suddenly being gone. But at the same time, if you didn't grow older, you'd miss out on a lot of blessings. For one, you wouldn't have your adorable and sweet son and 18 years of watching him grow and change. Sometimes when bad things happen, it's easy to forget about the many good things we have in our lives. Try to focus on that Janet...and hopefully it'll make you feel better! *more hugs*

We love you!
