![]() ![]() I am so pleased to have met you both and thank you for sharing with me a little bit of your son’s life. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. I have only slipped away into the next room. This is by Canon Henry Scott Holland 1847 - 1918 I have just read about Blake, I can’t put into words how I feel. I have received this email and thought it was so lovely I have put it here for you all to read. Today is Blake's birthday, he should have been 30 years old today. I would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and comments posted on Facebook.Īnyway, enough of this brooding, Blake wouldn't want that, he would want us to celebrate the life he had, be thankful for it, enjoy the life we have and the count our many and varied blessings, so with that in mind, I am now going to take the dogs up the hill for a strenuous walk and then we are going to my daughter's friend Helen's 21st birthday party, it won't take the pain away but it at least it will be a distraction. Blake didn't even make it that far, what a waste. ![]() To think, only 2 days ago it would have been Blake's 30th birthday and instead of organizing a party and celebrating I was taking flowers to his grave. I have just been watching the news and seen that even more guys have been killed in Afghanistan and it makes me think of all the other mothers out there, grieving for their lost sons, how totally sad, so much loss, but at least they got the opportunity to do what they loved doing and for what they were trained. I cannot believe that 5 years have passed already since Blake died, the pain and horror of what happened that day still feels like yesterday. Once again, thank you to everyone who has remembered Blake, it means a lot to me that he has not been forgotten. As one of his friends said, he would still be the optimistic, wise, dependable, kind, giving, practical, sharing, happy-go-lucky, cheeky, warm, helpful, loyal, hard-working, independent, funny, strong, friendly, person that we all knew and loved. I now wonder what he would be like if he had lived to be 32, where he would be, what he would be doing, who he would be with, and I doubt very much that he would have changed. Everything that I wrote in 2009 still applies and having talked to my friend who lost her son 22 years ago, I don't think our feelings will ever change. Well, another 2 years have passed and you would think by now the pain would lessen, but it doesn't. ![]() So please contact me if you know what occurred, you can email me through this website. I truly don't believe that anything malicious happened, that perhaps there was an accident or a prank that went too far, but I do want to know. I don't want any repercussions I just want to know what happened. I thought that as they grew up and had children of their own they may begin to realize the strength of connection that you have with your children and how much you love them. I was hoping, that one day the person, or persons who know what happened the night Blake vanished may have the strength to tell me how or why my son died. Even though a number of years have passed since I last posted on this website, not a day goes by without me thinking about Blake he is missed just as much now as he was the day he disappeared. ![]()
