And there is! I have loved reading the stories! They are fun, funny, witty, and well written. You can tell that you and your mother both have wonderful personalities. I know I don't know you or anyone in your family, and yet I have loved being able to laugh and "celebrate" Jimbo's life. Keep blogging. It's great.

Reading the posts brings it all back: the brother, the family, the awful moment of his departure from our lives. The memories keep him alive in the deepest parts of ourselves.

Though almost 30 years have passed it seems to me that you still ask "why?" It is tragic that these things happen, and the loss can never be replaced. I echo what Kimberly said and think it even better that you include input from his siblings. They should also have the opportunity to remember Jimbo and remember his short life. The more memories added, the more will be remembered and the better the tribute becomes. Sherry:

I knew you would "get" it, given your love for your daughter and your near misses with her life. Every child is unique and special, and the loss felt as tragic to those who are closest. May you continue your life with Kristina far into the future. Kiimberly, thank you so much for reading these posts and commenting.

It's fun to have the lighter side mixed in with the tragedy of losing Jim. After laughing, though, you still can't deny the poignancy of this baby coming into the world too soon, and then leaving it, again, way too soon. Your mom is hilarious!

I'm sure this whole experience will be not just cathartic for you, but also end up as a beautiful tribute to a life snuffed out too soon- a baby brother taken at the height of his charm.
