This seems very odd to me. Wanting people to "know" the girls. "Future art teacher", "future mother-in-law", "future college roommate". Very strange. I guess she is still struggling in giving up her dreams for them. So, sad.
And, you know what? After the hell she has been through, I would support just about anything she did. She gets a pass at it all, IMO.
I didn't know it at the time, but she grew up in my town, and I know several people who were her high school friends. Very well liked and highly regarded. She, and her husband, will remain in my prayers forever. I hope they can find some peace.
It seems rather normal to me. Her daughters won't be growing up or living out their dreams and as a mom, she wants their lives to be remembered, wants people to understand just what a loss it is to everyone that they are gone, wants to share what a joy they were and how much they were loved. I totally get it.
I don't have daughters, I have four sons. I guess I just don't think I would write a book to help strangers, who would not have known them anyway, to get to know them. I guess I'm just really private about certain things so it seems strange to me. I think I would rather name something, like a bench under a tree at their school to read under, in their honor, for people who knew them to enjoy. But people who didn't know them? I would just want to be left alone by them. To share my grief privately.
Didn't really mean to criticize her. It just seems odd, to me.
CNN is re-airing "There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane" tonight at 9pm EDT and again at midnight and 3am.
Y'all are very welcome. I haven't had the chance to see it either (no HBO and only dial up in the middle of nowhere!) so I was excited to see this advertised on CNN this morning.
This is one of those stories that just doesn't leave me. It's simply heartbreaking.

wait a minute, didn't the driver of the Bastardi vehicle have alcohol in their system too? or was that proven false (it's been a long time since I've read about this case)?
That was hard to watch. Odd the dad never mentioned his little girl unless I missed it.
Please tell me if he did. Also they never asked him if he smoked pot or how much he drank. I know doesn't matter just things I thought when watching. Her husband was asking the Dr. if it is possible she grabbed the bottle of vodka thinking it was water? What? I can't imagine it would take more than a gulp to notice it's not water. I may be wrong on that as well.
