Sometimes we are creating memories when we dont even realise it. Just enjoy your loved ones and make the joyful times long and the negative times short.

I totally agree with those sentiments. Life can be fleeting so grab every moment you can with your love ones.

Without wanting to negate the message… I’m sure I’ve heard it attributed to other celebrities too.

Very, very true and something to remember on even the hardest of days. I can think of nothing worse than losing a child. The thought of losing anyone is unbearable.

Beautiful and touching words from John. Thank you for sharing.

So true John, so true. If we stop doing or thinking about the ones we love then they cease to exist. Let’s not let that happen. When you think of a loved one text them, ring them, go and see them, tell them you care and you love them. We’ve only got one chance on this earth. I echo your sentiment John. May your son rest in peace and may you find your peace on this earth until you meet with him again. Blessings.

What a beautiful way to honour his son. It may have been 7 years ago but it will always feel like yesterday. God bless

so hard saying goodbye to a child x

Amen to his words, so true what John is saying here !! The pain must still be there. I lost my sister also 7 years ago, my parents were heartbroken, her children were heartbroken and her husband is still heartbroken…

I remember when the son died. He was way too young to die.
And I agree that the hardest thing in the world is losing your own child. 🙁

I hope I never have to find out how hard such a loss is. i can’t imagine how painful it is.

John and his family will never get over the loss of their son and brother. A lovely tribute.

I hope I never have to feel the pain of losing a child. I have lost my mum and seeing my grandmother go through that pain (of her losing her child) is something I never want to go through.

Naww poor John. I can’t imagine the pain he is in for losing a child. He is definitely right about honouring each day and treating it as if it were your last.

very touching, and such a hard thing for a parent to go through – thoughts are will his entire family

How correct he is. No parent should ever have to lose a son – that’s the wrong way round. We lost a son when he was 23 and he will never be forgotten and the hole he left in our hearts will never be filled. And sorry, people, time doesn’t heal the wound – it just makes it go deeper. We have other children, but they don’t make up for what is lost.

  Sympathy to you and your family. x

Icant believe the time has gone so fast. Thinking of John and his family

Such a touching tribute to his son. Life is short – it’s so important to make every day special.

How sad to be without their little angel.

That was so tragic – his son dying so young and in the circumstance that it happened. Beautifully written tribute. Wonder why the fb post was removed?
