I decided to hand this over to my daughter to judge as I really held this contest to help her...she gave me the following message for everyone who entered..."I cannot believe that people are so warm hearted that they would take the time to write such wonderfully comforting words for Christopher and myself, I promise you that I will treasure every one of them, every one of you deserves to win first place and you have, in my heart, thankyou all so very much

heartwarming
you have come to the right place to seek what they need to help them overcome a tragic time.the poets on this site are so very good at this.one thing you failed to do though is to seek comfort for yourselves.this has to be hard for you because people you love are in pain.i know you have to be strong for them,but you need comfort too. -
Queenie is right Leanne,you need comfort also,we are not always as strong as we let our children think we are.So I hope you give some time to yourself also my friend,you have to heal also~Angelica~

Thank you, that is really appreciated, and I would agree with your choices, they would certainly pick me up. Stay well, stay strong
