My Son

Jay was my son.....a son of which I was very proud. A free spirit in many ways...a spirit that came and went from our lives far too quickly. I can remember when he was born, at the Lismore Base Hospital. I was privilaged to be by my wife's side as Jay came into our world. I was given the honour of being the first to hold him and to carry him into the weighing room. Those were the days, when he was small enough for me to carry, before he grew into the tall, strapping man who could carry me around. Through the years we had many sunny times with both Jay and his sister Gianina, who fussed over this new bundle that had come to share his life with her.

There were grayer days to follow...but through it all, our love for Jay remained strong. Over the last 8 years he saw many parts of the world and made friends with many in different corners. Jay's personality brought him many friends....only now, as we suffer our loss, are we finding out just how strong are his friends feelings for him, both here in Australia & distant shores.
Yes, Jay's free spirit may have left this earth bound world we live in...but it now flies free to experience new vistas and know doubt, knowing Jay, to make new friends in the great beyond.

Jay, you may be gone physically from us...but let me assure you, you will not be forgotten in the many hearts that weep for you today. Your mum and dad loved you very much and will never get over losing such a heart felt free spirit. We will miss hugging you and telling you how much you are loved and how proud we were of you. Go forth my son, into the care of God's Kingdom...until the day we all meet again.

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU JAY.

Your loving Dad
