The poor little fella passed away last night. Only in grade 3, 9 years old, a cub scout, a son, a brother and a mate...
I just can't start to imagine what the family would be going through, but I guess they had a few days to say their good-byes and give him lots of kisses and hugs. Now, as I have just finished the ironing, I imagine Ros' ironing pile, with little Jack's clothes still in it, his boots still at the back door. It would be those things that would continue the hurt.
Saturday, after the accident, Jack and I where heading to town listerning to the local radio station. There was a bloke giving the football scores, and he made the comment - "Sorry if I sounds a little flat, but my son was injured playing football today and wouldn't be able to play in the state team. I am really dissapointed about it." I am sure I am not alone in thinking if that is your son's only problem, he will heal, and he will still be there tomorrow.

There are not words for such a situation. Deepest sympathies just doesn't cut it, but that's all I've got.
I was hoping you wouldn't have to write this post.. it's such a horrible thing to have to happen. xx
That's so tragic, words don't cut it right now. I am just so sorry for the whole family and community.
Oh that is just awful to hear :-( I can't imagine anything in the world worse than losing a child. It just breaks your heart to think about.
(hugs) - what a sad time for your community.
That's awful, very sad. Losing a child would have to be one of the hardest things to go through.
oh no, thats terrible news :( can't begin to imagine how u feel, let alone the family.
Oh Kirsty. *hugs* What a terrible, horrific, sad thing to happen to a family. With two little ones tucked up in bed, I can begin to imagine the horror that Ros and her family are living through at the moment. I am crying just thinking about it.
My heart, and my thoughts, and my prayers are with them - and you - at this sad time. I hope Ros knows how much support and genuine sorrow there is out here at her loss.
You take care of yourself. xx
I was really hoping that he'd pull through... how awful. What a terrible thing to happen to a young family. It really puts all your worries in perspective. You look after yourself darl.
What sad news - my eldest, Jason is 9 and I could not imagine what it would be like to lose him - or his brother...things like this always remind me to be thankful for what I do have!
Coming from a small town myself I am thinking of your community at this sad sad time
Oh gosh, not good at all {{{HUGS}}}.
So sorry about the bad news. I hope that you all find the strength to get through this very difficult time.
