[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we bought our house my wife found a folded up note with child's writing that stated: "Mommy, it's OKK to be sad after I'm gone. I love you forever." We didn't know it when we bought the house but later learned through neighbors that the owners had a 10 year old daughter die from leukemia. Apparently the dad couldn't handle it, drank himself jobless, and eventually they divorced. Still puts a lump in my throat 15 years later.[/quote] Now I'm sitting at my computer bawling. Our house has a little finished room in the unfinished basement that is colorful with wood floors and windows - set up like a classroom. Turns out a family before us had a child back in the 50s or 60s who was not quite there - no one knows exactly. But they had that as her space. Her name was written in the concrete outside. She ended up institutionalized which just breaks my heart. I like to know that she is still remembered as well.[/quote]
