Hi phidelis

our son recently died... he of course will live on in my mind and memories. Of course this is not terribly satifying to me. I think more importantly is how I use our son's life, what choices I make because of him and how I use the skills I learnt because of him.

His, my, and our influence will diminish with time; like a pebble thrown in to a pond. But his and hopefully our influences will spread out like the ripples in the pond .... nudging ever more of us to make better decisions. Yes the ripples will fade, but so what?

all the best
