Re “For My Son, Thank You”

I feel I must have been meant to send that message Monday night. 

I have thought about it many times. I just  never quite made it before I was distracted. 

My very best wishes to you and Diane. I can only imagine how difficult that diagnosis must be.

I wish you both strength as you deal with each day one day at a time.

Enjoy each moment as much as possible. I know that is a tall order.

At the end of the article you wrote about dealing with my son Matt's death.

You said, “How do you go on if your name is Ferrara? How do you go on if your name is Noonan?” 

You just do. And you will.

It's not easy, and it's not meant to be easy. But it is how we learn the most about life and what is important. 

Again, best wishes to you, Diane and your boys.

I join you in praying for a miracle.
