Wow.... heartbraking....Linda!!
I only can imaging how hard it is to loose a child....

Beautiful composition!

That's so sad...I can imagine you think of him every day...hope you remind the good things..

Something you never get over....just learn to live with as best you can. You're in my thoughts.....

I'm horrified. Was the perpetrator ever caught and brought to justice. It seems that you have not obtained closure or peace with this.

Such a tragedy.
I cannot imagine the pain you must have felt and continue to feel.
May the happy memories you have of him somehow soothe your pain a bit.

i can imagine he's always in your thoughts ...not good to loose a child !!!

So sorry....I can only imagine how your heart hurts...God bless you my friend

a pain so great in your heart... receive my hug, my friend!

Thank you for your thoughts Annamaria.

Thank you Dorado!

You never forget bandsix, but you do move on. Thank you!

Thank you twsottawan.

The offender was caught (his girlfriend's brother). It took 1 year to go to trial which counted as 2yrs of "dead time" for him. He received a sentence of 7 years minus the "dead time" because he pled guilty to manslaughter. Under Canadian law, you're eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of your sentence. He actually ended up serving 27 months after the trial, because he got in more trouble while he was incarcerated.

He has been back in jail 3 more times for other offences since then.

I don't think there will ever be "closure", but life does go on & you make the best of it. I have my daughter & her family, and my son's 2 daughters, so I am thankful for that.

Thanks jomoud, yes, the memories do help some.

Thank you hans55!
