woolybanana Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, desperately sad for him and his wife. I am sure he invested a lot of himself in the boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Even though Ivan Cameron had a very bad condition which carries a high mortality rate I still cannot begin to imagine the loss of a child. Very sad indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Poem 'A Child Loaned'Author UnknownI'll lend you for a little time a child of mine', he said,'For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead.He may be six or seven years, or even two or three,But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?He'll bring his charm to gladden you, and, should his stay be brief,You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers trueAnd from the throng that crowd life's lanes I have selected you.Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour's vain,Nor hate me when I come to call and take him back again?' I fancied that I heard them say, 'Dear Lord, thy will be done,For all the joys thy child shall bring the risk of grief we'll run.We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we mayAnd for the happiness we've known for ever grateful stay.But, should the angels call for him much sooner than we'd plannedWe'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
