It was so great having my niece Faith on to talk about her story. It's weird how the same tragedy in our family hits everyone a little differently. I can't really imagine what it's like to lose my dad and my brother when I was 16, as well as my aunt, and two cousins.

As the uncle, I would like to be a good example but I have always been impressed with Faith and Ran's resiliency. I just kind of checked out of life for a while but they had to go back to school and do math homework and get jobs and try to go to the school dance and I just never understood how they could do any of it. ❤️ Love you Faith. You are one of my heroes❤️
