just someone who cares / Phyllis Ganoe (not related ) Dear Mrs. Kirk,
We don't know each other, but when I was sent this by e-mail, I was compelled to visit Brandon's web site. What a beautiful family and what a beautiful little boy. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for you and your family. I just can't imagine what this does to you.
I am a grandmother of a 15 yr old boy and 19 mo old twin girls, Jordan, Jennifer and Jessica. I would not be able to go on if something should ever happen to any of them.
Four days after the girls were born, my daughter had an aortic disection. It was her 37th birthday. Thank God it dissected down instead of up or she would be gone. As it is, she lost a kidney and has to be checked out often for enlargement of the aorta and has to keep her blood pressure in check, something she has never had a problem with.
For the first month of their lives, I had to take care of them. I slept on the sofa and they slept in their Boppys' on the large coffee table beside me. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much but I would do it all over again if I had to. Sids is a very devastating and unexplained thing. I worried so often about it when the girls were tiny.
I just wanted to let you know that even strangers care and I am one of them. You little boy is absolutely beautiful and you will be with him again one day.
Thank you for letting us know your story.
God Bless you and your family.
Phyllis Ganoe
