| Thank
you for your magazine and the wonderful foundation you
have set up.
I have attended the second Memorial Mass held at Ashfield
and although I always come with deep feelings of trepidation,
the service has provided love, unity and an unbelievable
sense of peace. It is four and a half years since I
lost my 23-year-old son and coming up to another birthday
(one week before Xmas).
I am not writing about his manner of death, but because
today I was given a gift in the manner of a clear and
concise thought as if someone spoke to me. The thought
was this:
I truly love my son and my son truly loved me. All the
other stuff (as that's all it was)stuff) does not matter
and was cancelled out the moment he died. But love is
what was, is and forever will be)and this I know to
be true.
I really wanted to share this with someone who would
understand, and therefore this is the purpose of this
letter.
I wish everyone who is suffering this indescribable
loss and sadness a loving time over Xmas.
