It`s hard to imagine my life without kids.I don`t think any thing else in the whole world would hurt as much as losing a child. James

There is no reason to share this other than the fact that this is just a profoundly sad story, and it is one of those moments that jolts life into perspective and shows you what is important. I went to a memorial service for a 6 y.o. boy today. The lady I set across from at the office was in a car accident over the weekend and her six year old son died (the rest of the family was not substantially hurt). They were going to an air show on a Sunday afternoon. I have been to my share of funerals and experienced the sadness that brings.... but this went to a whole new place. .. it just makes you want to go home and hug your kids. |

Wow, Sorry to hear that Brock. We have some friends who recently lost their 6 year old son to a bad liver disease. It is certainly tragic when someone so young dies isn't it. You are correct, it really makes you cherish your children that much more. |

I'm sorry you had to experience this Brock. I know how hard it can be to see a friend suffer and not be able to do anything about it. I cant immagine the pain felt by the loss of a child. I had a massive heart attack at 38 years old. It changed my life forever because I know how short life really is. Every day is a gift, no matter how old one is.

Thanks Brock, touching story. That family needs all the support friends, family, and co-workers can give. My family lost a little brother at age six. My little buddy was gone. While now a sad memory, it brightens at the thought we had him for those fleeting six years. I remember folks I didn't even know, coming, and just.... being there. It definitely helps. Time will help heal the wound of this loss. Love will help remember the good times with this boy. |

I'm sorry to hear the news. In my 'real life' job I have to deal with families that lose loved ones on a fairly regular basis; it certainly makes you appreciate your own family. |
