At times, we all question why things happen, especially when young lives end on this earth. The cause of death should not ever be the issue. In retrospect, a loss of a loved one, so sudden and unexpected, is simply not describable. Death is not our enemy, yet initially, when we bury our children, somehow, we all question that. For whatever reason, Ritchie had his own plans. I read each word with tears in my eyes because I too, feel your pain. When our Andrew died 19 months ago, each day was a new experience, raw reality, painful remorse and disbelief. Some days are better now, easier to accept and not quite as tough to handle. On others, I hear a song or think I see his car and I crash again. I wish your family love and support. Your son/brother was a handsome young man. He left you too soon, but his destination is one where all pain is absent, he is whole again and happy. I'm sure he's with our son. http://andrew-collins.last-memories.com
May God Keep you in his heart,
