October 27, 2005, the day my world was turned upside down forever.

OP, it's difficult to even know what to say...saying I'm so sorry seems so tripe in light of your experience. Of course, it is every parents greatest fear, losing a child before themselves.

I honestly don't know where the strength would come from if this happened in my life, I don't know how I would go on. I can't imagine the anger you must feel at the one who took her from you...and from her children. So many lives destroyed and for what!

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers if you don't mind, it's really all any of us can do. We can't walk in your shoes, who of us would want to? But we certainly can admire you for walking in them the way you have.

May God keep you and bless you.

Thank you for sharing. No parent wants to experience the same. I wish you a happy life.

we have 2 daughters-grown I feel for you
my heart aches for you-- prayers brother

so sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss. You are stonger than I would be if it had been one of my kids. I hope posting here makes the pain go away, at least for a while.

Such a beautiful girl and family. What a horrible thing.

Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and your family.

Man label this as NSFW. I'm tearing up hard right now. I could never imagine having to bury your child. That is something NO parent should ever have to do. My best friend was murdered along with his girlfriend for wrong place wrong time. I've lost friends to car accidents, natural illness, and other things, but to be murdered will hold your heart heavy for life.

I hope you find solace in these troubling times. Good day to you, and God Bless.

May God give her rest and forgiveness, may God give you comfort and hope, may God give both of you salvation on His Coming. Amen!

May God bless, protect and save us all! All glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost! Amen! Amen! Amen!

Thanks for pinning this and for your kind words

(((HUG)))

Those kids didn't have their lives destroyed though. They undoubtedly had and will have unimaginable pain. But pain is the forge of great people, let me tell you. My wife lost her mother at a young age, and lost her father soon after to alcoholism. She raised herself from about 12. She is the greatest woman I've ever met, and she is an incredible mother. Her lose has taught her the value of family and love and sacrifice and vigilance and self control and personal responsibility and everything else it takes to make it in this world.

And to op too, he isn't letting this destroy his life either. I hope he channels his lost love for his daughter into those kids, shows them love, and teaches them all the hard things in life that a man has to teach to his kids.

As a parent, I cannot imagine the horror you experienced - and the tremendous grief you still experience.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your beautiful daughter.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. I wasn't about to let him have a second victim and that thought helped me through some tough times.

OMG ! I can't even imagine.

you are very welcome.

still stunned by reading this - how much more you, by living it.

Thank you for being here.

It may not work for some people but for me talking about it has always been a good therapy.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I have a 26 year old daughter and 2 grandson's ages 2 and 5. I worry about them daily. Not because I have any concerns but because they are so very precious to me.

Reading your story I immediately started feeling sick and sad as I could tell where it was going. By the end I had tears running down my cheeks. That would be my worst nightmare. I'm so sorry you had to live it my friend

Thanks for sharing OP and may God always be by your side.

I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss I cannot imagine how I would feel if it were to happen to one of my children. Stay strong, for your grandchildren.

God Bless you, your ex, her husband and the kids.

So sorry to read this, but glad I did, if it helps you to share. You and your ex sound like wonderful people.

My heart aches for you and your family, Op. I am so sorry for your loss. Your daughter was beautiful. Her children are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss OP.

My sincerest condolences to you, OP. You've experienced something that is the fear of every father. I'm glad you have found the hope and relative peace to carry on. There's so much pain in this world, but as a Christian, I believe the promise that one day this world will be transformed and a new heaven and a new earth are coming. Good does triumph over evil in the end and the enemy's time is short.

I am so sorry, OP. Your post made me cry.

Your daughter is very lovely and I'm sorry her time was cut short.

Very sorry for your loss there aren't enough words to express
anyone's feelings in this situation. I lost my daughter in 1987 to a suicide and my 18 year old son in 1995 to heroine overdose they were wonderful children and I can't handle fathers day at all. again Very sorry for your loss and your family and your daughter are in my prayers . God Bless .

My sympathy, OP.

Lost my handsome and bright youngest son in
February 2013 to a senseless act of violence.

Guess we have something in common.
No other way to go but forward.



Yes.
One just has to find acceptance inside.


Peace & Prosperity to you.

Much love from Sweden!!
