You will, and that’s the best thing.
I am so sorry for your loss. And Redstick. We will pray for y’all. My heart hurts so bad for y’all right now.

I always appreciate this comment, but also follow up on it. What would you do differently, knowing what you know? Feel like I have a good grasp on time and perspective and that really emphasizes how I interact with my kids, but interested to hear your thoughts.
Teach them things that your grandparents taught you. Plant a garden, take them fishing, hiking or outdoors. Play games in the backyard, build a swing set. I think young kids need to be more unplugged than they are on average and I didn't do a good enough job with this.
But if you're already worried about how to be a better dad (or mom) your kids already have a great advantage in life, which is loving and caring parents

I also think about him. I was treated in the exact same walk in ER the week before his thread. He apparently knows Owl personally as do I and hope we cross paths sometime. I'm a hugger and a big softy, so it would probably get ugly.

I hope redstick ended up having a large settlement from that tragic event. Money can never replace a person and definitely not a a child. I do know that it can help with having some closure and possibly allow some healing from such a devastating thing.
I also know that there was a human or multiple humans on the other side who either were so inexperienced or potentially negligent that they have to live with the consequences of their actions. This is one of those situations that no one will ever be the same and you only hope that all parties can heal and ask, give, accept and receive forgiveness.
I’m going to keep both redstick, his family and the health care providers in my prayers.

Sorry to hear that. Words escape.

I couldn’t read the thread. My son passed away at 10 years old. I just can’t read threads like that. God bless that man and his family. It’s pure hell

I never saw the last post and he was replying to me. I think about the situation often.
So sad. I could never deal.

This is a great idea.

When I hear stories like this I always think back to a family in our community whose small plane got caught in ice fog and ended up making an emergency landing on a semi frozen lake. The parents got out just as the plane went through the ice with their three daughters on board. Ages 6-9.

I just read that thread for the first time and I am nauseated. I feel so deeply for him and his family.

Sorry but I go down with that plane trying to save my kids. Life without them and knowing how they died would haunt me the rest of my life.

It’s tough all around. I go down a rabbit hole that’s hard to get out of everything time I think being in this position.
I will say they have 3-4 boys now and seem to be an extremely happy and loving family.

Jose Wales, Sid, and Redstick's son were some tough losses on here. All were taken way too soon, RIP.
Posted on 11/23/20 at 4:55 am to Ted2010
My most sincere condolences.

Oh shite. I wish I had not read that again.

Jose Wells and Sid??
I well remember redstick13 post — and during hurricane Laura he mentioned checking on his sons grave — I had forgotten the backstory
His son was named after his brother who died as a young adult iirc and they’re buried beside each other.
My kids are 28, 23 and almost 20 (2 boys and then a girl). There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep them safe — son number 2 just got engaged. Talk about times flies.

Oh parent to parent, I’m so sorry. I’m a mom of 3 older kids but this is still a fear of mine.
God bless.
God bless.
