I know I'm not grieving a miscarriage or loss of a child - but April 23d would have been my brother's 33d birthday. He was killed 30 years ago this August when a garbage truck backed over him in my parents' driveway in Connecticut. :tears :depressed Please remember him and my dad on that day.

My mom died last February after a long and painful battle with a rare form of cancer that only accounts for 1% of all cancer cases reported each year. I'd like to think she's now happily reunited with the son she lost at three years old. She also had eight miscarriages herself.

I miss my mom and my older brother - I never had a chance to know him - and she was my best friend.

Thanks so much. I miss my mom so much. She was my bestest friend - and if I get married and have kids, she won't be around to help. :sigh :depressed I just get lonely.
