Dawn,

I lost my husband just 2 1/2 weeks ago.  The pain is unbearble some days but please know that everyone on this site is here to support each other.  Your girls are beautiful.  I told both of my children the other day (although they are now young adults) that the best we can do is go on, be strong and make your dad proud.  He's looking down on us so let's all give him a little something to brag about.  There's nothing more beautiful than a little girl and her dad. 

You look so young.  I know the thought of moving on with someone else is hard to even imagine but God will send you the right person when you are ready.  That person has to love your girls as much as he loves you or it will never work.  They have to come first.  You sound like that's the road you're on.

You know how painful it was to lose your dad.  You need to do your best to keep their dad's memory and your father's alive.  My husband lost his father when my children were very young and they grew up literally knowing their grandpa (although they always knew he was in heaven).

I miss my husband terribly.  He died waiting for a heart transplant.  We all had such high hopes that there would be a happy ending but it wasn't to be.  He left three young grandson's behind and it breaks my heart that they won't remember him.  It's my job to keep their grandpa's legacy alive.

Honestly, how am I giving you advise when I feel like I'm going to fall apart at any minute?  I guess I just want you to know that people on this site are very caring and understanding.  God's blessing to you and those beautiful girls.
