Subject:my heart goes out!

I am so sorry for all your losses. I cannot believe that you have had the strength to carry on after such a tumultuous life. The predicament with your little sister is heartbreaking but just remember you have to live your life too just to keep your sanity if anything else. I lost my dad and best friend this year very tragically and i find it hard just to go on let alone be strong and responsible for another person.My heart goes out to you and i wish you all the best

Subject:Be Strong

I know how your feeling when it comes to Kate and looking after her.. my parents died when i was 17 and i was left with two brothers and a sister! Christopher-4, Kimberley-8, Graham-9.
my life changed completely and i missed out on my own childhood years, but just being able to watch them grow-up and be apart of their lives made everything worth while.. be strong and take every day as it comes xx

Subject:Your lil sis

I know this is kinda wierd, me, 11-year-old, giving advice to 16-year-old, but anyway: do you have any other living relations eg. cousins, aunts, uncles...? If so maybe could they look after your sister when you're at work, or could you get and au pere/nanny? PS. my heart is really sorry for you, as are my fingers which are typing this message sloooowwwly as I pause to think over what woe has come to you.
