Q: Tribute to Momma, Daddy And Brad

I dont know if this is where I should put this, but my brother and I are both depressed rite now and this is our tribute to our family that was taken from us six years ago today.

On december 10th, six years ago, three wonderful smart loving people were taken from this world cruely and left behind a nine year old boy, and a 14 year old girl to fend for themselves.

They were on their way to a huge basketball tournament when they were hit by someone who did not stop for the red light and were pushed over the edge of a cliff that had a sixty foot drop.

Six years ago I recieved a devastating knock on the door by 3 police officers that I will never forget. But it has made us stronger and we will always remember the parents that loved us so much, did everything for us and helped us fulfill our dreams. We will always remember our brother who taught us both how to skate so we were both on hockey teams, how to play all the sports we were both involved in and showed us just about anything!

Six years later you have a 15 year old young man who still plays all these sports and is going to be a wonderful father and husband someday. And ...And there is me. A pregnanct 19 year old, who has worked since she was 14 to raise her brother and herself, go to school and keep food on the table and clothes on our backs, who would not change the way things happened because she thinks that it was what god wanted but who misses her family deeply and is assured that she will meet up with them again someday and that they are watching over us all.

I love you momma, daddy and brad, we will never forget you. Every year we post a tribute to you and we always will.

Love always melissa and aj o'hara

I am very, very sorry for your loss. But it sounds like it made you the person that you are today. How did you raise your brother? Didn't the government put you in their custody?

Hi, no the government didn't take us, we spent 6 months in the house our parents had owned, I had a friend of my parents arrange to have it sold, and then we moved into a friends apartment building, I got up went to school, took aj to school too, brought him home where he stayed, he always had supper that he just had to heat up, I went to work until 9:00 then I came home for my supper break and helped aj with him homework, put him to bed, went back to work until 11:00 or 11:30 and then came home did my homework and stuff. It wasn't easy but we were discrete enough that no one noticed well government wise anyway. And I kept aj in all the sports and activities he was in before. It was life, we'd lost everyone else and weren't about to lose each other too.

Well, it must have been extremely hard on you, but it sounds like all in all it was the best thing for both of you. Too bad you were forced to grow up so quickly, but i'm sure your brother appreciates it. I am sorry it took me so long to respond to this, I didn't get an email when you replied, so I forgot. Have a merry christmas!

Mommy_2_b or is it mummy that is by now?

Your tribute was heartwrenching yet heartwarming & as i'm definitely old enough to be your mother, let me say that your mother, father & brother must be extremely proud of the amazing young woman yu have become & i'm sure equally of the amazing young man aj has become thanks to your hard work & guts.

Anyone would be proud to have you both as their children & I can only hope that my 2 grow up to be as good, strong, gutsy & incredible as the two of you.

Merry christmas & a happy new year to you both (or rather to you all!!)

Yes, she came into the teen pregnancy forum and completely lied about who she was. She lied to all of us for a very long time. We were told that she lost the twins she was pregnant with just recently. Also she included a letter apologizing to all of us for her lying. Feel free to come to the teen pregnancy forum purple and check it out for your self. She is just now trying to get symapthy for something that does not exisist in a diff forum. Girls from the forum were even trying to call her house and her dad answered the phone. But he is supposed to be dead. Purple, please go read the posts. U donot deserve to be lied to and neither does anyone else. ~ erica.

You know - what goes around comes around & that includes when people lie - what really worries me is not that she has lied to us but that she has posted so many times & I have no doubt that many of them gave advice & some people may have acted on it to their detriment.

Lying to us & herself - well we can deal & she'll get her dues in time. But giving false advice lacking in knowledge, experience &/or validity that is so very wrong & I wish there was someone/somewhere on this forum that could (& would have the guts) to bar people like this because they can cause aloty of harm to some very good people who come here for help & honest advice based on knowledge & experience. It is them I worry about not these people who lie & cheat just to get attention.

Thanks to all who posted telling me the truth about this person. Unfortunately for me, I will continue to take people at face value (until proven/shown i'm wrong!!) because even if I sometimes think a person is lying I believe that unless I know for sure otherwise that they are here for help & I will give whatever I can to anyone I can.

Adormer221 if you are talking about me I suggest you shut up!! & fast!! I did not post this on the pregnancy site & I am not sick nor sorry!!!!

I suggest that if you want to be offensive that you make it clear who you are being offensive to & if your post was not meant for me then again make it clear who you are abusing.

Jennifeyou may be mad but I assure you that if admore can't speak/post in such a way as to make herself clear then she will have alot more people lkike me a hell of alot madder than you Evil or Very Mad

so while I thank you for explaining for her I personally would prefer to have the explanation from the horses mouth i.E from admore herself rather than some follower.

It's not a problem that you posted instead of "pm"ing me.

But I did not call you a horse - don't you lot have the saying straight from the horses mouth?? It just means straight from the mouth of the author or person who made the statement.

I also stand by my original request/suggestion that you make it clear who you are refering to thereby avoiding confusion.
