Kinda bummed today...

it's the 11th anniversary of my first husbands death. I know that sounds weird. But it makes my daughter sad, he was a good dad so....

It was a fools rush in marriage, didn't last 2 years. We were better friends after the divorce. He was shot and killed by a 'friend'. My daughter was 16 at the time. Her seven year old sister (new wife) found him when she came home from school.

My husband raised her from the time she was 2, she always told people she had two dads. They'd look at me weird.

She's so sad today...

I am so sorry your daughter carries this grief. She is lucky to have you helping her bear it.
