The princess past away from an extremely bad car accident a few days after my sister was born. It was all over the news for weeks, leaving my mom to have to watch it a lot while she was with my sister in the hospital. Being one of her first children and coming off of pregnancy, this left my mother very nervous when it came to getting into a car.
