  Dear Mario,

  I'm glad that you are still here. I know that you have suffered unbearable grief and despair. Please know that you can get through this. Use us here on this forum as shoulders to cry on and as a way to express your grief. Each day the darkness will get less and less until you see a little glimmer of light. Keep reaching for that glimmer of light and hope. Even though you will never forget, you will get better someday. My younger brother experienced the mind numbing grief of losing his son to leukemia. Several years later my older brother lost his son to a brain tumor. It was the strength and understanding of my younger brother that helped my older brother through his grief. I know that you can get through your grief with some love and understanding from those of us here and those that are helping you locally. Promise me this one thing my friend, please don't give up.

  Mr. Shakita

  Dear Mario,

  I am SO grateful to hear that you're okay. Although I do not understand what it's like to lose a dear child, I do know what it's like to lose family. I have lost my parents and two younger brothers to the WTS. I am an orphan in every way. It is through this board that I've eeked through the tough times. Too many people here love me, like we love you. We truly want to help you in every way we can. Please PM me if you ever need a hearing ear. In the meantime, I am praying for your heart to heal and for relief to enter your mind.

  Love,
  Andi

  Dear Mario, I don't know you at all but I do care about you and have kept you in my thoughts every day, although I never said anything publicly before, for words are inadequate to express the sincerity of my feelings and concern, so just count me as another person here who genuinely cares about you. -Janette

  Mario:

  We both send you positive energy to help you to cope with all the sadness that has recently happened in your life.

  We hope you will be able to to go Italy and spend time with your family, there you will be able to draw the much needed strength you now need. Maybe you can tell us what it is like in Italy...for us that have never been there. It sounds like such a beautiful place!!!

  You have been an inspiration to us....and we care about you so much!!!

  Sending you warm hugs,

  CodeBlue and NOdenial

  I am meeting with Mario tomorrow evening. I would like to print this post out, and bring it with me for him to read. I am looking to get about 15 or 20 .....short.... replies, saying how much people in this forum care about him, to give him encouragement and support.

  Thanks...Hubert

  Mario:

  I don't have much more to offer you than a prayer and a poem.

  Dear girl

  so sweet and gentle

  Held inside my arm

  Away from all that's fateful,

  Away from all life's harms.

  I have so much to learn,

  I have a life to lead,

  But you have helped me find it,

  This life I have to give.

  I will be strong because of you,

  YOu made me strong at heart

  And every time I think of you,

  I get a brand new start.

  You were my life,

  You were my soul,

  You were what made me whole,

  And every time I think of you,

  I will give my soul.

  I miss you girl, I miss my love,

  But what I miss most is you.
