Awww, lazs has a soft, tender side; a woman's touch, if you will, when it comes to kids.

Ah, I feel pretty much the same way. Greatest moment is every day with my daughter. Everything else is just 'stuff' I've done.

All of the times when my boys (who usually fight with one another) stuck together against the neighborhood bullies ~ each of those times it's been pretty awesome.
When TxDad came home from a year in Korea ~ that first weekend was perfect.
When TxDad came home from a year in Egypt ~ that first weekend was perfect.
When TxDad came home from Iraq both times ~ that first week was perfect both times. One of those times is when I was able to take a picture where all three sons had genuine smiles of happiness. Usually there's one sour face in every picture. Not that day though.

When TxDad retired ~ every day after that has been perfect.

I appreciate your kind words. Here's the story if you care to read it.

Oh my, that was just in March… Vicariously, that was tough to read; I just can’t imagine how much harder it must be when it’s your own child.

As long as I’ve been a parent I don’t think a day has gone by that I haven’t feared losing one of my children. When they were little the concerns were choking or poisons. Now it’s running out in traffic or climbing too high up trees or whatever. My parents were just visiting and my mother asked if I carry an ID while I bike ride… I suppose you never stop worrying. You’d think that you’d get a break when they get past the teenage years, I guess not though.

I agree 100% that the important people in your life are all that really matters.
Again, I am truly sorry, and at the same time thankful for what I have.

BTW, I don’t think it’s really possible to hijack a JB88 thread.

Seems like an unbearable grief.

We were close and I miss him every day. It's not just a cliche that you don't fully appreciate what you have until it is gone. I have faith he is well and I will see him again. I have sorrow for those without this belief.

One of his last pics made with his girlfriend.
