Today we join in sympathy our good friends TorAa and his wife Anna in mourning the loss of TorAa’s son Ruben. Tor, we know that no words can comfort you in this time of loss. Losing someone so close so suddenly leaves a whole in your heart which is impossible to fill. We only wish to support you and remind you that you are not alone. You are in the company of many caring hearts. Our thoughts are with you, as well as our deepest sympathy.
I know a lot of my regular readers are Tor’s blog friends too, but for you who haven’t done it already: Please take your time to visit his post and let him feel the power of support and warmness of our blog community. I will attend the funeral the 26th of May and in the family gathering afterwords. If anyone wants me to bring a special message, please include that in your comment here or send me a note.

Beautiful red rose… Of course I’ve already written an own post, been over at his blog and sent emails back and forward. To support friends are important. Especially in such sad & tragic moments… *sigh*

I know you’ve been a great supporter in many channels and I’m glad we all in Blogsphere can give Tor at least some support.

Dear Renny,
Yes I’ve read about the sudden demise of his Son and my deepest condolence to him & his family. He is indeed very brave to break the news to us and we shared his grief too.
Just to let him know that his Son ‘Is Never Gone…..He is right here with him in his heart forever” I wish Toraa well and that he’ll be strong again.
Luv

Hey Renny,
Even though I do not interact with Tor I would like to say that even though this hour is painful and despairing, he and his wife must stay strong. May God be with them and help them go through this.
