Default Saddened.......

Guys, I came into work yesterday and got slapped in the face with a bag of bricks and bad news.

My boss, unfortunately, lost his 5 year old son over the weekend. It breaks my heart to know that such a young child has been taken from this earth, never to spend time with his old man again. Until that day... I try to avoid religious conversations, so whatever you believe.. That's when they will meet again. The funeral is today at 2pm. My Leader has been nice enough to let the whole team off to go to the funeral. For those of you that do it, keep the family in your prayers.

Below is the link if anyone cares to read.

As a parent, I wouldn't be able to cope.

I would loose my f&%kin mind if something happened to any of my kids. I would most likely kill anyone involved.

Been through it before except it was my brother who drowned. All my children have been taking swimming classes since they were 2 yrs. old because I did not want to go through the same thing my parents. My brother's death tore my parents up mentally. After 20 yrs. both my parents have a hard time around my little brothers birthday.

A parent could never quite recover from that.
