Thank you Grace and Geneva, I appreciate the kind words. My son's death has truly been the worst experience of my life. Previously I thought the shooting involving my brother-in-law's family was the worst. That indeed was most terrible but the pain I feel over my own child dying far surpasses it. I do hope this is the last casualty of my brother-in-law's actions. All the grief in our family appears to be connected to that fateful night. Tammy, thank you for confirming what I had heard/read regarding dates and time. If it takes a year and a day, I suppose we are halfway through. I am hoping the next 6 months will be easier than the previous for all of us.
