re: How many people have you watched them take their last breath?

After we told our grandma we loved her and how she did a good job on this earth, she passed away about a minute later. It's like she needed to hear us say goodbye before she left

One , first born son, lived a week in the NICU. The moment haunts me still almost 14 years later.

My first child was born 3 weeks ago and spent the first 5 days in the NICU. I cannot imagine going through that. My son is doing awesome, but seeing some of the other children and parents was very sobering.

On topic, I have seen one. When I was in 3rd grade playing baseball one of my friends hit a foul ball. Struck a kid standing in the door way of the dugout square in the chest and he dropped dead. Still have visions of that moment.
