Dear God,
One of us never got to grow up.
I dreamed that I saw her again a while back, and when I woke up my pillow was wet, because I cried tears. Real tears as she hugged me in the dream and said it was all a misunderstanding. Tears of happiness. She was an amazing girl, loved by many. But she never had the chance to become an adult.She died at the age of 17 with her dad. Her life was lost in an event that took 300,000 peoples lives. The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004.
I pray for all of them. But especially for her. I miss her.
Frederick, Stockholm/Sweden

Frederick, I am so very sorry for your loss. She sounds like an incredible person. What a gift to have known her, but how hard to lose her. I am so sorry.

You can be sure that I’ll be joining your prayers, and I’ll be praying for the chance that you dream with her more often, if you’d like that.
Infinite x’s & o’s…

Dear Frederik:
she might never become an adult, but she is now an eternal light in your life. Embrace her light and full your self of hope. She is fine now and one day, you will meet again.
Big hug brother

my son was 17 when i found him dead……….sitting in front of his desk………….studying for his first exam in high school.
people tell me “it’s horrible what is happening to you”……….parents must die before their children. It’s true.
But when you are young and a young friend dies…………..what can you feel……………you can’t see the future like other young people ….. because we know that babies and young people die all around the world………….but when it happens to your friend………it’s too close.
God is everywhere. And it’s our decision to open our lifes to Him …………. and He send people / angels in earth that hug us to continue.
You are young…………..you can feel your friend every day and this is an ACT OF LOVE…………..don’t forget her………….you have to be BRAVE to do this. It’s so easy “continue” and forget………………….it’s AN ACT OF LOVE TO CONTINUE AND TO REMEMBER.
Ignacio died in 2003………………..and now people leave me alone. Without Ignacio I am alone since that day, but when people don’t have enough love to give…………….they continue…………….and I feel alone and I feel HE IS ALONE.
Name her, pray for her, laugh for her, toast in her memory. She was young and lovely. She is lovely. She deserves your brave heart and soul. I don’t know if she is fine, I don’t know if Ignacio is fine. I don’t know what to do so he “can feel” HE IS LOVED.
My english is terrible , I will try to tell you what is written in his grave: Don’t cry because we’ve lost him, thank God because we had him………………………..
NOw I am really alone, my husband also died, I am 47 and here in latin america if you are not a professional and you are older than 30 you dont have incomes just to have where to live, and eat. I am destroyed and without future. My present is empty. I don’t know why they died and I didn’t.
People have so many problems that leave me alone because if they are with me I have to say: Ignacio died, Luis died, I dont have work, I am sad……………….people want and need nice people, nice times, and ……………………………………………………..
You are young. LOVE HER. Don’t forget her. Sometimes you will cry and other times you will remember and laugh. Be brave. Resist. Continue. I think she receives everything.
