Graham,

Being an only child and not having a family of my own I cannot readily identify with your situation, apart from having a terrible sensation of sadness that anyone could contemplate taking the action that young Tabitha did. I do know that youngsters today can be driven to extremes that we, at that age, never were.

Everything that can be said, has been said by others here, but I should like you and your family to be aware of my love and concern for you all at this time.

On a lighter note: had I been in a similar situation I would not have had the option of changing out of a kilt - unless it was into another!

Take care,
Ham.
