So sorry to hear about your son, and at such a young age, its just not right. Im sure he would have been extatic about the send off you gave him though and im sure he is with you every day, watching over you and your family. Stay strong and dont sweat the small stuff (ie the diff) im sure if you are still after the diff, one of the very kind people on here will probably donate one to you.

:newangel:For Matthew...may he Rest In Peace:newangel:

I have visited this thread twice but did not know what to say. I am sorry to hear of the lose of your son, I have a 15 year old son now and really cant comprehend how hard it could be for you, I wish you all the best. a very good friend of mine has a son who has cancer and has only just turned two last month, I spoke with him on the phone lately and he was not so well ,hope all turns out well for him.sounds like you had a fine farewell for your son with all those fords, he would have been very proud .

I can understand about the diff ,If it was my son I would feel the same way. but to look at things from the other side of the fence (yes easy for me to say) I dont think you should get to hung up about it, yes this guy was a dog to rip your son off but we have all been ripped off at one time or another and I dont think your son would like to see you worrying to much about this. being the situation, if you did find this guy you may do damage to the point of who knows what and maybe end up in trouble yourself .your son would not want this,you need to be strong for him and realize that unfortunately there are scum out their and always will be. sorry if I have said anything the wrong way, my intentions are all good. once again I wish you all the best and am so sorry to hear of your loss.

Thoughts go out to your family.

It sounds like a great way to say goodbye, surrounded by the ones that love him and all the things & people he loved.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and messages. They mean a lot to my family and I, (including Matthew's Fiance, Kirra.) As for the diff, it's only because I saw how upset Matthew was that this bloke ripped him off for $300 when he was on sickness benefits. Thanks everyone.
