[kj] OT - Saddest days of my life

[Brian Whitehead]

Javier,

The saddest post I have read in 10 years on the Gathering. As I read it I
was hoping/praying for the last line to be along the lines of  'and now she
is fully recovered'.
My daughter is 2 1/2 years old and means the world to me as your daughter
obviously did to you. I cant imagine what you are going through.
My deepest sympathises to you, your wife, and your family.

Brian.
