My sincere condolences, Swimpy, to you and the family.
You have been an angel, regardless. God bless you...

Oh, no. My very sincere and heartfelt condolences to you and Tadhg's family. I hope they can find some comfort in the days ahead.
I will continue to pray for the little guy that touched so many people that he did not even know.
This is so, so sad.
Oh, my.
I didn't want to hear that.
My thoughts with all of you.
My deepest sympathy to Tadhg's famlily, our thoughts are with you from across the ocean.
Tadhg may the warm gently wind lift you to a peaceful place.
Sleep gently, Little Tadhg.
I'm so very sorry, Swimpy.
My continuing hopes for Tadhg's family and friends. May you find the strength to cope in the days to come.
They will be difficult, I know.
Thanks everyone. I really have no words.

So sorry, S. It's ok to be numb.
Swimpy--
Numb is natural--you and his family and everyone who posted on this thread has been hoping so very hard that Tadhg's story would have a happy ending.
Numb is natural. Then the ache will start.
Hold your dominion.
I am so sorry to read this.
I hope his family can find some solace.
Such a hard loss.
I'm so sorry, Swimpy. For you and for his family.
May he rest in peace.
a better place
He has his wings now. My prayers to you, and your family.
I'm leaving now and won't be checking in for a few days, but I'll be focusing especially hard tomorrow and Monday...in the hope that the service and interment are beautiful...and that the ritual of these duties lend comfort to the family.
Mom and Dad are actually doing pretty well. I think they had come to terms with the possibility that Tadhg might not make it. Tomorrow and Monday will be closure for them. Permission to begin their lives again when they feel ready.
My condolences, sorry to hear this news
Oh no! Not what I had hoped to hear after being away. I'm so sorry.
An excerpt from the homily at Tadhg's funeral (the preist is referring to the reading that preceeded):
Quote: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born I dedicated you. However that would make an awfully short reading because the rest didn't seem to fit. A prophet to the nations I appoint you.
But then we heard Tadhg answer God "ah, Lord! I know not how to speak. I am too young. Then we heard the Lord answer him. Tadhg, say not I am too young. You will be a prophet without words. You will speak without words. "
Do you know how the family is doing?
I've continued omming for all three of them as they deal with Tadhg's death...
They are taking time for themselves. I haven't heard from them except for an email from Mom sending the readings from the funeral. They need space to deal with this, but I will get ahold of them soon.
