The Victors' 14 year old son has gone home to be with our Lord yesterday evening. Their eldest and only son had severe cerebal palsy a few short weeks after his birth and when I met him, he was already confined in a buggy, unable to verbalise at all his thoughts and feelings. Only the family knows.

He was initially only given a few months to live but has since out-lived that and fought a good fight. Because of his condition, only his 2 younger sisters had the privilege of going on holidays with the parents. Sure, the Victors' have brought him along too, to the UK and Australia. But I'm not sure if he could enjoy himself as much.

It is with both sorrow and joy. Sorrow for any passing and joy because we know he is well taken care of now, at a place where there's no pain or tears. He would be joining his grandfather, the one who was really looking after him during his time on earth. But now that they are together, they can rejoice and be reunited forever.
