Dear Rina, I received your message 2 days ago… I have read it many times before being able to reply to you. My prayers go to you and Ralph. I have tried to imagine his little sweet face, to capture his soul and to send love and strength to him. Please keep believing that he will be okay. The world is full of tragedies and some people live their life in a bubble but I can’t. I can feel people’s pain and sorrow everyday. I have always cared for others, I was born this way….. Throughout my life, my best friends have mos always been people with had tragedies in their life, because that makes them special, true and beautiful to my eyes. I believe in positive energy and I can tell that you are full of energy and that is what Ralph needs from you. He can feel you, he can can feel your love also keep it strong for him like I did with my son. You should play music into Ralph room always, I am sure it will make him happy as you said he liked to sing and loved music. Hang-on there sweetie, you know I am thinking of you everyday now. I will let you know when I have a seminar and will for sure invite you. I send my love to you and to your family. My heart goes to your little Ralph. Ines This is for Ralph, my favorite song… you are not alone, you are always in my heart Hello Ines, I am a Japanese who has a son Ralph who is mixed with British and he is turning 4 yrs old next months. He was born normal and happy adorable baby. But we found out that he had a brain tumor (which was able to be taken out by surgery) when he was 10 months. And he had a surgery . (We all assumed that surgery goes successful and he would get back to normal life) but it wasn’t. Japanese doctor failed and he lost his sight and my baby Ralph suddenly got to start living his life as a blind. When i heard that from the doctor, I was shocked and screamed and cried like crazy and vomited like you told. I was totally devastated. But i searched information about blind people on internet, i realized that there are a lot of people who are blind and living in a same world and that made me get power and to stand up. And above that my baby Ralph started to get interested in music, piano and singing! He had totally started to be living his own life as a blind person. He looked so happy singing all the time and he was always laughing and making people around him happy. And it seemed like he is gonna grow up with 6 senses happily and i was looking forward to watch his growth even if it was a bit unusual and hard. I has been 2 years since that surgery. January 16th this year, he suddenly got high fever and I called an ambulance to go to the hospital (it was ER because it was 4 am) but there were no doctors who had experience and he had to wait 4 hours for a doctor to come. He was not conscious at that time already and he started having fits while he waited… I was dead scared and shaking while waiting outside the emergency room… I had no idea what was going on inside of the ER because they did not allow me to be in. At about 2pm…they finally called me to come into ICU room to see my baby Ralph. I was shocked looking at him with a thick respirator and 3 links of drip and with an oxygen mask on his face. The doctor explained to me that Ralph might have lost everything, meaning that he had lost his memories and lost his abilities to be a human being. That he might not be able to wake up. Why, Why, Why Him!! He went though all the tragedy already before and he was again living a happy life. Why this again!! I couldn’t understand and it took me long time to admit this reality. And now, Ralph is able to breath by himself, he has no more respirator and tubes, he is slowly recovering i hope. But he is in coma. He cant move, talk, sit by himself, he is just lying on his bed all the time, like a new born baby . I still miss him singing laughing and touching me saying ” I love you “… I still do remember those things and I get to cry all the time. But i am also getting powerful and I keep searching information about people in a coma, every day. Well, sorry it is getting a long story but all I wanted to say is, thank you so much for sharing the story of your adorable son Luca. It gave me more power and made me feel secure and i appreciate this Ines. I have been a big fan of you since I got to know you as a specialist for miss universe Japan, by reading your book, now I always love your sense and personality and your respectable work ! I am so happy to know there exists some woman like you Ines! I will not give up until I recover my son and he wakes up from coma! If you have any seminars, I would like to join it please.

Rina
