Aren’t they wonderful. I can easily imagine mortar boards and tassels on their little domes.
[Now, did they really earn the graduation or were they just socially promoted?]

I did. It was hard to find words, which are wholly inadequate anyway.
Not being a parent, I literally cannot imagine what he is going through, but I have some idea as my neighbor’s boy got killed in a car accident this last summer. I was good friends with him, and I am good friends with his brother and his mom. They have recovered, in a manner of speaking, but neither one of them is ever going to be the same again.

I stopped by too, having recently lost my kid sister to suicide and being with my folks to help them get through it I can empathize with the pain.

Jesus, that was heartbreaking. I couldn’t finish it because I didn’t want to start crying at work.

Before this fade too far down page I want you all to know that the out pouring of kind words means a lot and to thank you for them. And to thank John as well. We will not forget.

@Chuck Butcher:
Take it one day at a time man.

Words are always inadequate at a time like this, but know that we here are with you, your late son, and your family in spirit. May he rest in peace now.

Chuck,
You and your wife have my deepest sympathies. I just can’t imagine. Just can’t.

To Chuck,
My heart goes out to you, your family, your friends, and loved ones. I know the struggles of dealing with emotional pain and the helplessness one feels watching someone else try to deal with it.
I’ve always thought of you as a wonderful voice of reason and compassion. I’m moved by your remembrances of your son.
My sincere condolences.
