I've got boys around Charlie's age, and that letter could have been written about any of them. A few tears were shed here as well, I can't imagine how tough the Stevens family are doing it at the moment.
What I find most unfathomable, is that at some stage in the near future, that poor man is going to have to go back to work and keep reporting these statistics, as if nothing had happened.
It would be very easy for him to throw his hands in the air and this point and say "I give up" and just quietly, you wouldn't blame him if he did, after losing his own child to the very cause he's been fighting against for the last 10 years in the top job
I think he’ll retire.
I drive past his home at least twice a day and they are getting heaps of support. Even a flower tribute that neighbours keep adding to at their front gate. I look everyday and my heart still skips a beat.
I have seen Grant thousands of times gardening, washing the car etc and, never realised it was him.
