Relatives have broken the news to 9-year-old Ruben van Assouw that his parents and older brother died in the crash, ABC News reports. "Under the circumstances Ruben is doing well," his aunt and uncle said in a statement today. "We told Ruben this morning exactly what happened." Ruben told a Dutch newspaper, "I just want to get going." "The whole family is going to bear the responsibility for Ruben's future," the statement continued. The tragedy has turned a travel blog kept by the Assouws into an impromptu online memorial. "So young and having to go through this already," one commenter wrote. "With tears in my eyes I am looking at your holiday pictures. You probably had a beautiful holiday. Keep that memory. You are a miracle child and you must have an angel sitting on your shoulder."
