Sister

[NatteDroom03]

I just wanted to talk a little bit about my eldest sister. I have 3 siblings, you see. A twin brother, a sister who turns 18 soon, and another sister, who would've turned 20 on the 2nd of May this year, if she was still among us. In 1996, a beautiful baby girl named Irene was born. According to my parents, she was a happy, little soul. Full of joy. Playful. One spring day in 1997, she passed away. SIDS. No one to blame, nothing anyone could've done.

I never knew her, as this happened way before my time. That's probably what hurts me the most. Despite that I never had the chance to meet her, I still feel something missing in my heart. I miss her despite of that fact.

Whoever she was, wherever she is, I will always love her.

I'm sorry about my sappy thread, I had to get it out, and it felt good.

I am so sorry for you. I know how devastating that is on parents and families. There is no real explanation for why this happens to babies. I lost my little brother when I was 4 and he was 3. I can feel your hurt and understand.

One of my close friends has had the same experience in her life, unfortunately it is just something that has to be accepted, even though it is difficult to. :(

Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss as well. No one should have to experience that. *hugs you both*

My cousin actually went trough something similar. His baby brother died when my cousin was like 2 years old. Feels weird because well it was my family too.
