Quiet thanks - from Chris

As each email or comment arrives and I know we can't reply this week ... I say quietly under my breath and often with a tear: Thanks Catherine or David or Enrique or Jimena or Marina or Stephen or VT or Adele or ...

Thanks.

I will be away from Melbourne from Saturday until Wednesday, so will not be able to be present at Ben's funeral. But my thoughts and prayers will be with you, and with all your family - and extended family. I hope we can meet again in some future and happier time.

Continuing to pray for you all, and especially that Sunday is a significant and helpful part of the journey for each of you.

It's so difficult knowing that nothing can be done to bring Ben back.
I am thankful for the twelve years our families shared in Argentina. Ben turned nine shortly after you arrived. Do you remember his birthday bowling party? The skittles were replaced 'manually' between strikes by boys who leapt down from their concealed perches.
Lindy, yes, I believe great good will come out of such great pain and loss. You will keep going, in His strengh. Animo.
With prayers and love,
Elspeth
