Don, your post touches me, I too have a daughter, its my only daughter and she is almost three years old. Her name is Nicole and she is the light of my life. Every morning is a joy to see her smile and hold her in my arms. I would consider myself even luckier if she would develop an interest for computer arts and share that passion with me like you and Shawn. I can see you and your daughter were very close. Life is full of uncertainties and after September 11 I thought hard if I had made a good decision bringing a kid into this word and there has been times when I worry so much that something could happen to her since I would never like to see her suffer by anything. Seeing your post makes me realize that this could happen to me. I think that this little angel that God sent to my life might be with me for decades and I'll get to say goodbye to the world before her as one thinks things are supposed to be or maybe not, God only knows but one thing I'm certain is I'll cherish every minute I spend with her as I'm sure you have done. Shawn may be gone but the memories you had with her are immortal and is a part of her soul you will carry with yours forever.
