R.I.P. My Darling Boy


In some respects it seems to have gone quickly and others it has dragged, it is a year today since my darling boy died, far too young. 

Thankfully I will be with some of my Salvation Army family this afternoon, not that I will be able to concentrate on the Bible Study.

Anybody else that has losted a child at what ever age I feel for you.  You don't expect your child to die before you.
