Dearest Eddie, you made me cry. Your heart is so big. The world could use more hearts that are as big as yours. Yes, we will look after them! I bet so many people will donate just because they read your mum's story about you!

As a city, Wellington largely failed the dead. We can only support the living, and the whanau of the dead. Please thank your boys for their empathy.

This is how I feel too John. I feel distraught by it. Eddie approaches life as a ten year old. We have a devastating understanding of what happens when we treat housing as a get rich quick scheme.

A beautiful piece of writing, it captured well that need to be honest with our children but protect them, coupled with dealing with different emotions ourselves.
