Carina, het jou so pas raakgelees op Nelba se blog en wou joune kom lees. Weet asseblief dat iemand wat jy nie ken, nou vir julle bid. Baie, baie sterkte.

Yes, it was too soon. Will we ever know why? Nathan you will live on in our hearts as the precious gift from God to your family and friends and the brave little man who kept fighting untill the end. You have touched so many hearts and your family have taught us so many lessons of love. It was too soon, but death ends a life, not a relationship and we will keep you in our thoughts as the cute little angel who loves bathing.

Carina
Gaan lees asseblief 1 Kor 15:35-58
Nathan se gewese ‘onvolkome liggaam’ het gesterf, maar Nathan se siel (wat jule as ouers kon eerstehands sien, voel en beleef) leef voort tot in alle ewigheid en tot julle sterf bly hy voortleef in julle gedagtes
Koester sy nagedagtenis!
Hy is vir julle geleen vir 3 jaar en drie maande-Loren is vir ons geleen vanaf 5/11/05 tot 26/4/07 en sy lewe sal vir my tot ek sterf sin verleen-Soli Deo Gloria!

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ek is so jammer Carina, so baie baie jammer. Ek weet sy lyfie is nie meer seer nie en Jesus hou hom nou op sy skoot, maar ek wou dan nog vir hom kom kuier het. Dis nie regverdig nie.

Our deepest condolences with your loss, even though we know words will never be able to make the hurt go away.
It was our privilege to have “known” Nathan through your blog for the last 3 days of his time here on earth. R.I.P.

My deepest condolences for your loss. I have been following your blog religously since APril when I started my own. Reading Nathan’s blog has become such a part of my experiences. As a mom to be I have admired your strenth and tenacity. I hope I will have 1/2 the strength you have showed to us all when it comes to fighting for my child.

Bye Nathan you will be missed.

I am so very very sorry for your loss. I just came onto your website for the first time today from Chocolachillie. I lost my special needs daughter 2,5 years ago and hearing about Nathan really brings those feelings back. Please contact me if I can help in any way. I don’t know where you are based but if you need any practical help in Cape Town let me know.

I can’t even begin to understand the pain you must be feeling now- just reading the whole story had me in tears- but I would like to offer my sincerest condolences. No parent was ever made to bury his or her child.

Carina and family

It WAS too soon!!!!

Although we never met Nathan face to face, his life has touched ours deeply.

As you walk through this time of sadness we pray that God will genuinely be with you - that you will truly know His presence and comfort.

You will stay in our prayers

Jacqui, Lloyd and Matt

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose….
- Elisabeth Kubler Ross

Carina, probeer een van Kubler-Ross se boeke kry, indien jy kan. Ek glo dit sal julle in hierdie hartseer tyd van hulp wees.

Baie, baie jammer en sterkte

@ Carina en Richard

Julle ken my glad nie. Ek het op Dorings en Soms Rose gehoor van die groot seer wat julle tans ondervind. Ek het self twee kjinders en my hart gaan uit vir julle. Strongs

Our dear friends, from across this ocean the pain is right here, right here. I have been trying all day to run away from it, but it is right here…
