Rez,
I am so very sorry for your and Trevor's immediate family's loss ( If I understand the relationships correctly). I can only imagine what you are going through, and his family. It is our gift to hear such a touching story written so eloquently - the kind only feelings straight from the heart can produce.
It is our honour to pause, lower our heads for a moment, and reflect on what you chose to share in this forum.
You haave given me the gift of stopping and thinking for a moment what is truly important in life. Sure puts smaller, or sometimes petty issues in perspective.
I only hope that when I experience my next loss that I can, in memorium and tribute, put into words what others might share expressed in a fashion as eruditely as you have. Hats off to you and the family's loss you've all experienced. May God grant you and his whole family peace and comfort in this difficult time.
I wonder, the song on the Don Quixote album named "Patriots Dream" which I believe fell in the company of other songs written to reflect on war and tragic loss might be of comfort, or perhaps present a diverse set of tacks on loss and war might be of some comfort or reflection.
I understand "Hail Hero", "Don Quixote", "Patriots' Dream" and others either on the CD/LP whether written with intent on being in the Michael Douglas film "Hail Hero" as either outtake or recorded might bring some peace or other form of reflection that might bring comfort to you et al, as only Gord can express in music the way he does.
Trevor, his immediate family and friends, and of course you as (his uncle?) will be in my family's thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing what you so graciously did with us. It is said that joy shared multiplies, and grief shared divides and lessens. I wish the latter for you. - Steve (Geo)
