My last ski holiday with Francesco in Zermatt-skiing below the beautiful Matterhorn. We had the best time together apart from Francesco begging me to ski faster even though I had to keep on reminding him I had a hip replacement and was not allowed to fall! I shall always cherish every moment with my precious son-he was the sweetest, kindest boy any mother could ever ask for. Please remember all those families this Christmas who have lost a child and are no longer able to enjoy their Christmas, especially those who have lost a loved one through gun violence. Approximately 45,000 Americans lose their lives every year because of guns-4.6 M minors live in households with unsecured guns and guns are the leading cause of death for children in the US. Don’t wait until this terrible tragedy arrives on your doorstep-please next year endorse candidates that support common sense gun laws to protect children. It could be your child, your friend, your grandchild and suddenly your life is changed forever. Christmas will never be the same and will never be a source of joy again.
