re: The hardest part of being a parent

So sorry!

Losing a child, IMO is the hardest thing in life.

I'm an old man so I have outlived my Mom, Dad, and two brothers and four sisters.
However the most painful has been my oldest sisters young son. Ricky was about three years, I was fifteen. Came home from school and my Mom was crying. Why? She answered, Ricky died. I answered, Ricky Who? We had been to their home the day before and he was running around in the park, chasing each other, happy as could be. I prayed, why Lord?

He was diagnosed, Encephalitis!
The Dr said, if he had been in the hospital we could not have saved him.
That was decades ago.

So sorry to hear of your tragic loss.

Brother I am so sorry to hear about this. Cannot imagine what you're going through. Man to man, stay strong, but grieve how you need to - your family looks to you to be the island of resolve. I pray that the Good Lord makes His face to shine upon you and your family and that you receive the peace beyond understanding.
