The journey is there, the love is there, the sense of loss is there between the lines of shock and pain, with a true understanding of compassion. The Oxtal family knows Andrew has gone home, and they live with him in their hearts, until they meet again. For those who have suffered the loss of a child, this mother's letters will take you to a place so familiar they won't make you feel alone.
