Flowers for Abe

A dear friend's son died recently. He'd taken his life.
A gentle kind creative and musical soul. The world is poorer for his leaving. 

Hopefully the lesson being learned, that there must be havens for hurting souls will be heeded. It's done well in Finland; why not in New Zealand?

Today was his farewell. I've never been so moved by the outpouring of love and compassion that there was today. 

Haere rā Abe. 
Hei konā mai ,,,,,
