In just over a week, with the demise of Lemmy, Bowie, Alan Rickman, and even Celine Dion's husband, it can easily be thought that only stars succumb to cancer .....
But oh my word, how touching to read the reflections of Damien Mckenna ....
Damien Mckenna ?
Well Damien lost his son to Leukaemia just over a week ago.
Kaden Mckenna was 9 years old and on 1st December 2015 when most kids are getting excited at the prospect of Christmas......... Kaden was diagnosed with Leukemia and in a little under 5 weeks, his short life came to a very abrupt end. He lost his life on 7th January 2015.
The Ipswich Star have fortunately redeemed themselves from the nonsense of cloud pictures, and ran a very touching account of Damien's loss ...... but not forgetting the loss for all his family, Kaden's mum and brother and sisters ....

Even within the depths of his loss, Damien Mckenna has sought to carry on the intent of Kaden to raise funds for addenbrooks hospital.
It is very hard not to be moved by such actions ..... there are no wall to wall news accounts of the life of Kaden, he didn't write any great pop songs [well not as far as I know], politicians and celebs are not recounting how much Kaden
had influenced their lives .....
had influenced their lives .....
But by christ when you read Damien's reflections of his son .... you can only sit and see the beauty of his son .....
The Mckenna's are a brave family .... reflected by the bravery of their son ......
The last words he spoke to his dad .....
I love you ....
Kaden Mckenna
9 Years old ....
