Happening at last - Re Aussie Mateship post

Well going back to the Aussie Mateship thread I placed up here awhile ago about my son being hurt and others helping him because of their bond through Mateship we are starting to get answers

The case is starting to go through the court here in our town and the person has been charged they need to go back to court in the coming months but at last we have action on an awful deed that wasn't caused by our son

Hopefully he will be able to get on with life and live it to the fullest as anyone can

I believe with all my heart we are placed here for a purpose in life
weather it be to rasie our own children
to make some one smile
to help plant a wonderland for all Creatures Great and Small
to be involved with community members that make us become out of self

I also believe when your life's work is done you will be taken from here and be given the rest you deserve so much

Sometimes it is hard to do your best with what life throws up at you but through what has happened to my son I know now he has many friends from all over teh place mayb more friends than me who are willing to help if the need every rise's again

why because it's ---- say's his friends to me he wouldn't hurt a fly he is fun , harmful type of person and I can't but feel a since of pride to think we as his parents have brought him up in a good way so that he will be a true gentleman at heart

no one can get through life with out a friend of some sort

I will leave you with these 2 quotes one a general quote one a bible verse

Some friendships do not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers."
- Proverbs 18:24

Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life."
