Meaning added to my life!
I received the official letter today, regarding the sentencing date in court next Friday!
Reads as follows:
_________________________________________________

I am writing to let you know that the above defendant in this case was found Guilty after a full hearing of evidence.
Sentencing will take place on 17th March 2006. I will contact you again when I know the result.

Now I know it's real. Of course I will be in court, so I won't be waiting for any letter!
After reading the letter, I went to buy a newspaper.
When I returned home, I was just unlocking my door, when my neighbour opened his and walked out with his young son (about 5 years old, they also have a younger daughter).
The boy gave me a massive smile and said hello, his dad's smile matched the younger one!
I spoke back, also smiling - walked into the house and burst into tears. At last the emotion has finally reached the surface.
This town will soon be so much safer for that kid now, and that's what finally set me off!
Best wishes ...Rik
