So kind of you to say this Di_Hard because I’ve become fond of these characters too. It has become difficult for me to focus on almost anything lately but when I went back to this tale I found solace in creating their world. I’ve even been...

Thank you Di-Hard- I am struggling to understand the why and feeling the guilt we'd missed something sooner, some sign that could have changed this outlook. It's a battle I am desprate for him to win and I'm hoping for a miracle.
