One of my best friends growing up lost his 7 year old son this morning. He was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and had a heart transplant at about a year old. He's had some issues here and there growing up but he apparently had a seizure last night and never came back from it. All I can do is sit at my desk at work and cry. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.

Wow, my condolences go out to your friend and his family. It's a parents' worst nightmare to outlive their children, and as you said, I can't (and don't want to) even imagine...

If your boss is worth a damn he'll let you go home.
That's rough.

Prayers. Friends 11 year old daughter was killed in a wreck a couple weeks ago. She was riding with another family who she spent the night with. Both parents of the family she was with were killed too. They left behind 4 or 5 kids of their own too.

Stuff like this is the reason I'm going into pediatrics. You always hear people say, "Man, I wish I was a kid again," but a lot of children are just trying to do it once. Condolences to the family and those close to them.

I have a 7 year old son as well and I don't know how I would get through losing him (or his 5 year old brothers). Unimaginable....
Hopefully there is a lot of strength in the young boys family, this would be so trying.
For the sake of children...I truly hope there is an afterlife filled with joy.

It's tough on the family and their friends Justin because there isn't one damn thing you can do or say to make the pain go away right now. Just stay in contact with him and keep offering your friendship, he will need that at some point. All of you hang in there its gonna very hard for a good long while.

Just terrible. If you were to collect for flowers or some kind of special gift I'm sure some of us would chip in to help if you needed.justincredible;1580610 wrote:One of my best friends growing up lost his 7 year old son this morning.

I know it doesn't make it any less tragic, but I was more surprised that the driver and his wife weren't wearing seatbelts. I can't imagine what getting that phone call must've been like.Mohican00;1580833 wrote:9 people (kids for the most part) in an Equinox and only 3 were restrained?

Funeral is tomorrow. It's going to be a tough day to get through.

This is where I may be...I hate hearing stories like justin's. I imagine within the end of next week, I'll be a dad. I don't even want to think about losing my child in my lifetime.Ironman92;1582152 wrote:Not sure I could do it.
