My thoughts go out the Cameron’s at such a difficult time.

What a pack of depraved and disgusting ghouls, when the only tears brought to your eyes by the recent murder of hundreds of children in Gaza was tears of joy. Every 5 seconds a child dies from hunger — but there are no tears for them from the sick hypocrites at HP.

What (nearly) everyone else said.

Veteran journalist John Gunther told the story of the last three years of the life of his 17 yr old son, Johnny as he fought against a brain tumor in his 1949 memior, “Death, Be not Proud”.

Yep, read this on a plane and felt a right berk as I snivelled all the way from London to New York.

Poor lad didn’t have much of a life, but was always surrounded by a loving family.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Camerons on this tragic loss. To lose a young child is always tragic, but especially so when it comes after years of a terminal illness. Felix, thank you for citting that eloquent poem.

Here in northern Virginia, my congressman James Moran, lost his seven year old daughter to leukemian several years ago. She had been diagnosed with the disease when she was three.

Veteran journalist John Gunther told the story of the last three years of the life of his 17 yr old son, Johnny as he fought against a brain tumor in his 1949 memior, “Death, Be not Proud”. This very honest and moving portrayal of a young man’s struggle against a terminal illness is considered one of the best, perhaps the best book on this tragic subject. It is a mark of its appeal that the book is still in print 60 years later.

SmartCookie, I am in a position similar, though not the same as yours, but I cannot begin to understand the grief and pain that David and Samantha Cameron are feeling right now. Loss like that is something you never quite get over – something the poem expresses so well. Thank you, David, for posting this.
