...thank you.All of your posts have given me something to hold close to my heart.Today...i have been inconsolable.The tears have never stopped and it has been a long time since i have known grief such as this. Even my children,normally demanding as children are,have kept a quiet distance,just giving me a warm hug every once in a while.
I did not know this young man well...yet I seemed to know who he was and what he was about.He was a shining light in a world of many faces wrought with stress.His smile was from the heart,his openness so refreshing,his kindness so tangible.
I broke again today when I gently told his workmate,that he wasn`t to worry about our building work.He turned to me and said that Dan would have wanted him to go ahead,..that he had been looking forward to working here.
I broke my heart...and it is still breaking.
How do you write a letter of condolence to his parents in such circumstances.I want to say how lovely he was...and all the rest...but the pain in reading that when their son has gone,seems unimaginable.

Truly your words here are so very beautiful...I feel so blessed.
