[kj] OT - Saddest days of my life

[Leigh Newton]

Javier, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've got a 9-month
old girl myself and I have to say that you are
absolutely right about the bond between a father and
his daughter. My thoughts are with you and your
family. Take good care and take comfort in the love
and support of your family.

Leigh
