Today 25 nov 2009
All day same for me but today is bit different today I am going to university for attending my lecture, class start at 2 pm it still 1 pm. Loyalty and trust in others, to do the right thing, being family or your best mate. For our son these were the rules he went by, always put others first before him. When someone was down he would try to make it better. If he could help in anyway, he would. Leon was a fine young man, our son, this is our story.
On the evening of 12 February 2005, Leon had arrived back home, he had been invited by his mate to come out for a barbecue at his father's rented property, and stay over – a very small gathering approximately 20 kilometers from town. Before he left we asked him to stay with us as we just ordered pizza. He nearly did stay, only to get another phone call from his mate asking when he was coming out. I only wish he had his phone off that night. He did leave and said he would see us in the morning.
We were up early that Sunday 13th February to plant some trees in our front yard. Our neighbor had invited us down for breakfast. After we returned home around 12pm, there was a storm brewing. I noticed Leon was not back, he should have been home by now. A vehicle was coming down our street, it turned into our driveway. It was Leon's best friend and his father, whom our family had known for many years.
