After losing his brother, Chris 27 in Nov. 2007, Jeff,23 wants to "live life" He wants to get out and see the world. He has picked the state of California to begin in. We live in Florida.....I am going to be a mess when he leaves....It would be like losing 2 children within one yr. I know it's different, but it is pretty darn far. He has stopped seeing his neices because he is mad that their mother is getting married in July 2008. I want him to get over this and just be grateful that she found a nice man...But I think he feels like he is standing up for his brother....Chris would have been 28, on May 16th. It's going to be a hard week coming up...

" My youngest daughter has also been lost since her sister left us. They were very close and lived right across the hall from each other. She has a hard time to this day. My other daughter holds the anger for my son-in-law about everything and it has caused alot of grief between both families. We are now trying to patch it up but she will not play no part in it. All I can say is just be there for him and listen closely. Sometimes it is better to just listen. My prayers are with you. "
