I'm a sister and aunt. It's still hard to believe this accident happened. I am thankful the truck drive saw the car and tried everything he could to prevent it. My heart goes out to them as I know they will never understand why God sent them on that road. My nephew is my world. Each day he reminds me of my brother. One day as I was taking him to the doctor at hcmc he was being so silly and demanding. I told him he is just like his daddy. Jeremiah's responds was "I am my daddy". My heart tore. I looked at my mother and we both wereally shocked we say each day Michael's sole must of went into Jeremiah. Jeremiah is doing great he is becoming so smart and whity. All I can say is I am thankful for the car seat and my brother always bucked Jeremiah in correctly. Also I'm thankful the driver and his son are still alive and I hope one day can meet him and tell him how much I know he tried to do everything he could. It marks 2 months since Michael has been gone and as I write this I'm balling my eyes out missing him ever more. He is my brother, my role model (even if he was a bad influence), my best friend, but most of all he is now my guardian angel. I love you Michael.

Go to the Internet and read up on the death and dying process . It will be good information on what is normal and if people need to seek counseling to help deal with everything that has happened .
