From a personal point of view, I would like to hear the story because I've followed the overall event to some extent. I know it will be sad and probably make me upset and/or angry. I want you to know that even if some of us on here aren't close, we do to some extent share and grieve over the loss of someone so dear to you - especially a child. Not only that, but I feel that hearing stories like this, not because of the loss but because of the love involved, allow me to better understand my own relationships with people close to me and to help me ensure that I don't take certain things for granted.
But all that is a selfish wish. What you *should* do is whatever helps you and your family recover, remember, and heal. Not for others. For you. We are not the people that lost such a beautiful little girl and we aren't the people that are coping with that loss. Do what you feel is right for you.
One last thing. I hope you understand that people who are effectively strangers to you have taken your story as inspiration to better their lives. For me personally, it might be something as simple as an extra "I love you" to my parents, wife or other family members. It might be something as complex as using the love I've seen in you for her as inspiration for when my child is born this September. Every child should be so lucky as to have that kind of love from their father.
In all stories there's a lesson. I really hope you can see the positive impacts your story can and does have on even those that are complete strangers. All the best to you and yours, man.
