I read about the loss of your son. No grief is greater. Thank God we know you will see him again.

To: Dr. Eckleburg

Thank you for your kind thoughts...my one consolation, in this life, is that I know for sure, I will be with my son again....

His concern was only for his family, after he died....he worried that we would spend our lives grieving for him, and that was something he did not want....he told us, when he died, he would be safe in the Lord’s good and kind care, of that he had no doubt...and that we should take our comfort from that knowledge, and that soon enough, we would be together again...

Sometimes these very ill and dying children have the greatest sense of peace and comfort, and it is they, who support their families, not us that support them....if you ask any mother or father, who has watched their child struggle and die from a horrid disease, and they will tell you the same thing...the child becomes the example, we should follow...

Again, thanks...
