ANOTHER CHRISTMAS WITHOUT LUKE

Christmas has come and gone again and as happens at most special occassions it causes you to reflect on what should have been.

We spent this Xmas at home with our parents and Luke's little brother Josh who had a lovely time with his pressies, but Cindy and I had to open the special presents that we placed under the tree for Luke. They were so hard to open as Luke should have been the one there doing it.
We take these to the cemetary each year and place at his resting place. It is so hard as he should have been here playing with his toys and having fun like his little brother did. It will never ever be right or fair. My heart aches for our little boy who never got to experience fun times with his Mum and Dad and now his little brother.

You try your hardest to put on a brave face for Josh as he doesn't know anything about his brother yet but in time he will be told what a special big brother he has and how we love him and miss him so much. I can't say I'm looking forward to telling Josh about what happened to Luke but it is something that I will put alot of time and thought into when the time comes.

I will never forget you Bubby Luke and I am so proud to be your Daddy.
I miss you mate xxxxxxxxx
