Just spotted this...sad, sad news indeed. Our condolences to you and your family, wishing you all the best to get through these tough times.
Sorry to hear of your loss, losing a child really is devestating.
Condolences to you and your family.
Plus as he was eventually going to join the throng here it somehow seemed appropriate, given he was the same as all us here.
We have had the onerous task of formally identifying James today, sadly through glass until the post mortem which was harrowing. But it did give us a small crumb of comfort that he looked sort of asleep and had no signs of any distress, marks or wounds.
One thing I must say this forum and even at the other place the regulars all step up to the plate when a fellow forumite is hurting and in need of support or to vent, which is startling/rare in this day and age on an online forum.
I cannot help but titter when we were told the cost of the funeral yesterday because my son James's character was such he would be bending my ear saying dad you know that is a few good guitars worth and beers for that matter. Bless his silliness he was a beaut.
So it is fair to say that the admins, tech spods and indeed forumites should feel proud of this place and their own compassion for their fellow man.
You should all be beaming with pride and my wife and eldest lad wish me to pass on their thanks as well as mine, we know we will get through it is just a very big trial to have to face.
As we are in the eye of the storm visitors wise I will try to check in and post elsewhere other than here so I can spout my own brand of nonsense, like you do.
Heartfelt thanks from me and mine to all of you.
I hope you're all coping. Although it sounds like you're a very strong unit. Take care.
Thanks for your respectful post and post away because he was a mischevious wee lad and to be fair life has to go on, there is not other way that is not pushing the self destruct button, so not at all mate.
With good friends his and ours. family and ofcourse kind people like your good self we will be alright but with a big hole in our lives and hearts, but as long as we and his friends remember him he will never truly die.
We have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume and spread of friends who have been around to pay their respect and wishing to go to the service and cremation.
Makes a parent proud that he touched so many lives in such a positive way.
When my head is in a better place I will be mooching around here and posting if I can.
Much love to you and all your family.
I also believe that the quality of a life is more important than its duration. I don't know you at all but from what I've read it's clear you care deeply for your son and I'm sure you did everything to the best of your ability, fallible though we all are, to give him the best life you could and raise him as best you could. You should take pride and comfort in that, and in him. I'm 28 so only a little older than your son was, and I know that if I were to go I'd want my parents to know how much I appreciated them.

Bad news, buddy. Losing a kid is pretty-much the worst thing that can happen to someone. I can't really imagine how shitty it is and I don't really want to.
Think good thoughts when you can, endure the bad ones when you can't.
