I hate to break it to you, you guys? but this may be goodbye. I know that I haven?t posted much on this forum, and most of you don?t know me since I haven?t posted a lot.
There has been a devastating loss in my family. I doubt that I will ever recover from the loss, since it was so sudden. My little cousin Loren (the one who cut her hand) died a few weeks ago. She was only six, and a very unlucky child.
She got into a car crash with her mother a couple of weeks ago. Loren was really banged up when she got into the hospital, and bleeding really badly, hence she has hemophilia. A week later, she was doing great, and released from the hospital, but the first day that she was home, she felt awful and wanted to take a nap. Little did we know that she died in her sleep. We had her funeral yesterday, which I had to give a speech and sing a song in honor of her. I felt like I couldn't do it, but I managed.
Loren was everything to me, and we were the best of friends. We never went anywhere without each other. She was a mini version of me, and everyone loved her to pieces. It was really tough to let her go. The only thing I have left is her little stuffed seal that I am holding right now. She was holding it when she died, and when she got into the crash. We are thinking of burying the seal with her.
I am really- I MEAN, REALLY shaken up (emotionally) about this, and I may leave the forum. I doubt that I'm going to, but I'd rather just tell everyone, since I won't be posting as much as I usually do.
Here is a memorial picture that I made of her on MS Paint:

Here is the journal entry that I wrote about her:

It is the one titled ?Death in the Family?
Also, if you guys don?t know about Loren?s fatal disease, then here is some information about it:

Also, the doctors think that her hemophilia played a part of her death. She may have been bleeding internally without knowing it.
So, I'll try to get over this as best as I can. I really hope that I make up my mind and stay here. I'll wait and see.
