This week is one year that my beautiful mixed up niece, at age 23, took her own life. I reflect back to all those years of no contact with her or her parents and it is very sad. I feel sad of the loss that we didn't get to see her for quite a long time.
She was a lonely girl who just wanted family, wanted her dad - but she never got him; never got to see him.
I will remember my niece as a fun loving little girl who used to play with my children down at the beach, making sandcastles and playing in the water.
