    Sophie, You are so very blessed to have a brother as wonderful as Jay. One day you will also have the additional blessing of having a sister-in-law to love you too like Mia. Please really think about what Jay put in his letter. The best qualities in you are those that came from your parents. Like Jay said, they truly live on through you dear Sophie. It is a very sad part of life that bad things happen to good people. I lost my brother when he was only ten. You never just get over it, because they were someone special in your life. What you do is you honor their memory, by living up to your potential and being all that you can be, having the joy and happiness that they would want for you. There love is also still present in the feelings your brother has for you. Sophie don't ever lose your sweet smile, because my dear you are truly a treasure. In Psalms 139:14, we are taught that we are beautifully and wonderfully made, and Sophie that is the truth. Take care and God bless!

    You are very lucky to have a brother who cares for you. If it's hard to say things in words communicate more in writings, and maybe later both of you can figure out how u can say things in words-- ask for his help. I feel the love the love of siblings , both of u are in a tough situation, but your brother is so compassionate to understand u more so be the same with him. Express in writing evryday that u appreciate what he's been doing. Being teen is the critical stage and that's the age u need more guidance. Do things that would interest both of u like going to libraries or watching a movie then u can share what u think of the movie- maybe it would be a start for u to talk more with ur brother. Help out in the kitchen or cook together-- something that both of u will feel good after doing a task, or even cleaning. It's hard at first but give it a try. Coz your brother loves u so much .

    A very touching story indeed. Life can be harsh and tough sometimes, however, while it takes away somethings it also tends to compensate for the sufferings it has inflicted. I guess your bro is one of the many good things life has to offer to make u happy. Best of luck to both you and Jay. Our prayers and thoughts are with you..

    Sophie, I can not imagine how hard it must be to have lost your parents. There are not words to express how grieved I am for you and all children who have lost their parents either by death or by abuse and neglect. I so wish I could give every child's parents back to them and that they would be the loving, caring, nurturing, and strong parents that children need. As i can not do that, I will ask God to be the Mother and Father you need. No one will ever replace your parents, and that need and ache for them may always exist. I pray that our Heavenly Father will fill that ache in your heart with His overflowing love, and that He will help both you and your brother.

    Hi Darling,
    Yes you have lost some most important people, however you still have Jay, just think of how he feel too and you will understand more. He needs you as much as you need him. Build each other up by giving compliments and the letter he wrote shows hes not going anywhere. I know you are hurting and it feels very bad but if you could just step out of yourself a few minutes each day and think of all the things that are coming your way that are good and things you want, then it will help. Remember dying is all part of life wether it is an accident or not. Your parents knew this and I am sure they would want you to go forward and learn to love and not be stuck. Each day with the sun rise will be a new and beautiful day to begin and move forward.

    hi :),
    it is very wrong and unfair to have lost your parents. But i believe that people after they have left this life can still see you and if you still remain sad it would hurt their souls, so live like your parents would have wanted you to live if they were alive.
    Your parents would have wanted you to be happy and successful and they would have wanted you to love them or that which a part of them.
    So study or do that which you can be successful in and follow your dreams and each and every way or turn in your life remember your parents and thank them for the life they gave you.
