On one occasion I was holding her hand, just so she'd know that I was there. I remember telling her she would be OK and not to be worrying and I felt her squeezing my hand. But when you lose a child, you're also left grieving for the things you never got to do. Lia never celebrates her birthday on October 22 now and I know the boys still remember and think about Marsia. How would you feel if you kill a child for the sake of a drink or to save an extra minute or two?
