leogirl, i too feel your pain. i lost my dad on august 28, 1994, 12 years ago. i was only 22 and my youngest sister only 16. i am now 34 and have a little girl who just turned 7 that he never got to ever see. it breaks my heart to know that he is gone, but i too treasure the memories and there are so many. everything my dad did was for us kids and he had the biggest heart i have ever known. i never could imagine life without him even though i knew that "someday" he would be gone. mine wasn't as young as yours but he had just turned 50 in may. today he would be 62, still young! i named my daugh
