And to think I got to work this morning and bitched about our new uniform policy. Puts things in perspective. I have 2 buddies I work with that lost children and I admire both of them for how they have dealt with the pain.

My prayers go out for you. My son was born profoundly disabled with cerebral palsy. He was a blessing (although I didn't feel that way when he was born). He passed in 2010 at the age of 22. His birth and disability opened my eyes to realize that I had taken so much for granted every day; my health, family, friends and this beautiful world. We have 2 healthy sons grown in college now. And every day I thank God for these blessings, and that I don't take them for granted.

That is exactly what she did. We have had three kids after Brandon passed. He was 16 weeks premature. My wife has a incompetent cervix, meaning when the baby would reach a certain weight the cervix will open up. I remind my kids every time we talk about their big brother that he died for them to live. If he wouldn't have ever been born than my next oldest would have to suffer his fate. Truly ultimate love

I feel for you man. I'll never forget the son we lost...I got to hold him even knowing he was stillborn...so surreal having the joy of a perfectly healthy one and a the devastation of a stillborn at the same time

Man, that had to be the most awkward feeling. I remember awkwardness of seeing proud dads with their chest poked out with pride. Here I was, my son just born but I felt nothing but jealousy towards those dads because I was scared out of my mind that my son wouldn't be alive for long. I felt horrible for feeling that way but I couldn't help it.

My stepson was shot and killed about 16 months ago. Pray about it

This is the toughest thing to deal with...
Prayers for you and your wife.
I am absolutely sure your son would not want your grief to affect your life to the point it made you sad and miserable, especially if that grief affected your relationships with those close to you. Can you imagine how he would feel if he knew he made you that sad?
He was a tough guy and he would want you to keep on living a happy life.
Think of him, remember him and love him, but keep going on.

Sorry for your loss man. The pain will never go away, just one of the cruel aspects of human existence.
My brother shot himself at his mother's house, she found him in the bathtub. He was her only child. It was hard for me and my parents to go through, and still is, but the thought of her finding him still makes me physically ill.
ETA: just so my post isn't too depressing, going through something like that makes you hold on that much tighter to the people you still have. The best way to honor those we lost is to be strong and come together in their absence

One of my biggest fears is losing my son
Posted on 2/26/15 at 8:25 am to rantfan
So sorry for your loss

Tough news there for sure.
While I can't imagine such pain we have some close friends who lost their 19 year old son last Fall. Watching them walk through this is heartbreaking. We hear all the time about young people passing away, we feel bad for a short time, and then move on (as we probably should) but realizing someone is dealing with that 24/7.

Can't say I have, by my sister was killed by a drunk driver at 20 (I was 12) and I saw how t affected my parents. Didn't destroy their marriage or anything, but dad never got over it. Then dad died 4 years later.
As much as those hurt I can't imagine losing one of my own kids.

9 years ago yesterday as a matter of fact. I know what you mean about the time of year. Christmas in our house is still bittersweet bc he was born on Christmas eve. We try to celebrate his life as best we know how with his brother and sisters he never got to meet. The pain never leaves, but sharing a single day of his life was worth all the pain I'll ever endure. May Brandon continue to bless you and your family.
