Tad's Birthday

Today would have been my cousin Tad's birthday. A year ago this month, he committed suicide. My mom is meeting with his mom (her sister) today halfway between KC (where my aunt lives) and here. I was talking to my mom about it a couple days ago and I ended up crying. I can not imagine losing Dani. The thought of it takes my breath away. In the midst of the conversation about Tad we were also talking about Steven Curtis Chapman and his family losing his youngest in a car accident. It would be devastating to lose my parents, sibling or especially CJ but I don't know if I could even handle Dani being injured much less killed. "Lord please protect my little girl"
