hello...hello??? is this thing on????


I have no idea how to write a blog. I don't know if anyone even reads these. I don't know how they would find it. But i'm going to start this. My daughter Katie was killed in a car accident on May 28th, 2008. She was the passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver. She was drunk too. She didn't have a seatbelt on and was thrown from the car and died instantly. She has an identical twin sister. Her name is Kelsey. We are both devistated...each in our own way. I don't have the words to really describe what it's been like...but lately...I have this feeling that I want her mark on this world visible and tangible. I was talking with a friend at work and she said that her sister also lost a child and that she started a blog. So here I am. It sounded like a good idea. It's kind of embarrassing though...writing where anyone can see. But I guess that's kind of the point. I want photos of her on here. She was a poet and an artist. She was beautiful and smart and funny. I want her sister to be able to post about her. And her dad and her friends. We all miss her so much. The man driving the car is going to come to trial in a couple of months. He is being charged with vehicular homicide and dui.
