Such sorrow at a young age!!

John and I video taped Erin's wedding and when we were looking at the footage not too long ago we ran across a scene that made me just burst into tears. IT was of Jacob and Amber dancing to "One more day". I don't know the singer but the song was precious. So John and I decided to take that section of the wedding reception and make a separate DVD for Amber's family and Jacob. They are dancing and kissing and at the end Jacob picks her up and twirls her around. SO precious.

I got a really sweet email from Jacob and Amber's parents saying it helped them with the healing. I was again brought to tears.

They are all healing and it is getting easier.

Thank you all for asking,.

Aww I got goosebumps when I was reading your post of where you found that footage. I had something similiar happen. My father passed away when I was 19 during the summertime. Holidays were extremely special in our family because my father was all about getting in the holiday spirit. He would bake and bake and make Cookies, candies - the whole 9 yards at Christmas that he would pack up a special tin for each one of us kids. Maybe a year after he died when I was moving I came across one of those tins - I opened it up and there it was - still in physical pefectness - an entire tin of my father's goodies. Its like the only thing I have from him besides pictures. I keep that tin in my nightstand and occasionally I take a look at it and take a moment to be with my father again It feels like they're speaking to us even after they've gone - just a gentle reminder that they are still with us. That's something very special.

Losing someone is never easy, but the sorrow of losing someone so tragically at such a young age is almost unbearable. Penni, you, your family, and the loved ones of the two young women who were lost are all in my thoughts and prayers. So so sorry for your loss.
