Thank you, divine. I know...doesn't get much sadder. Samantha was one of those people who never had a mean bone in her body - except toward herself. She trusted and cared about everyone she met. My nephew, who is only 7 years younger than I am (my sisters are/were much older than I) had a terrible falling out over the situation...how I felt that he neglected Samantha. I feel horrible about the falling out. I will think to myself that I'll send him a card, or write him a letter. Try to repair our relationship. But then I think of Samantha and how her life went to ***** before she was even an adult. and my nephew let that happen. I'm just not able to reach out to him. I beat myself up thinking, What could I have done? What could I have done? I tried hard. I know there's nothing I could have done. Still, it haunts me.
