I tell people that I have one sister up in Heaven and one brother here with me. I miss her a lot and I wish she was here with me. I love my Chrislyn.
Brittney is too young to give you her answer, but I can tell you what she tells people that ask her how many brothers or sisters she has. She is quiet promt and blunt in telling them that she has two brothers, David and Ashley Conrad but David died, and mommy has a baby in her tummy. Yes, that is how she says it all one breathe. I must admit that she is a normal 5 year old, blunt and short on tact.
Even though my daughter is only two and a half, she will tell you she has two brothers in heaven. I think it is important not to under estimate a childs understanding because they are young. She was just two when her twin brothers were still born and she knew the boys did not come home and that there was much sadness in the house.
When I was 8 and my brother passed from SIDS everyone started saying the number of children that were still here at the time was 4. My brother Craig was the 5th child and I would get mad because I said just because he is not physically here, he is still and will always be my brother. Till this day when people ask how many siblings I have he is ALWAYS included in the number.
I was nine when my brother died. I always include him when I tell people how many brothers I have. He's still my brother.
my newborn daughter just died a month ago and i will always be a mother of 3.and her brother and sister will always remember her, forever
