I don't know how I could choose just one.

I adored my Dad, who died of a heart attack 15 years ago. He was a teddy bear of a man and something of a local celebrity for his musical skills. We were very close.

I am still emotionally devastated by the loss of a 19 yr old who had lived with us and was like one of my own kids. He died just over a year ago playing chicken with a train on a 4-wheeler. He was SO full of life and love that it's hard to adjust to the "lack" of him in our lives.

My nephew Chris died at age 10 when his 8 yr old sister pointed a pistol at his head and said "Byebye Chris!". I held his hand in ER when they unhooked him from life suport and have never fully recovered. I would love to hold his hand again and apologize for not having kidnapped him that day. He was supposed to have gone somewhere with us and at the last minute his parents decided he had to stay home. If only we had known...

So I can't shoose just one. It's impossible.
