I have a 9 year old and I break out into cold sweats when I think of her having to deal with my death long before she should have to. It's a blessing that Cati has her grandmother who will make sure that Cati knows how much her mother loved her. I showed my older daughters Heathers and Cati's picture and we talked alot about their role with my younger children if I don't survive this. Rosie, you sharing so much of Heather with everyone has helped others down a very scary path. Having that conversation with my older daughters and knowing that my three youngest would be well taken care of set my mind at ease. Take care and hug Cati for me.
