I know its a crazy time to be posting, but I was arguing with some people on here Saturday afternoon after doing some yard work--just for a little fun. A few minutes later a state trooper pulled up in front of my house. They came inside to let me know my son had been killed in a car accident across town. I've not slept much since then. He was the light of my life and I'm not sure why I'm even posting this, except I remember others on here I helped out--a very little--when it was needed. I don't need help. I don't think I even need prayers. I prayed for his life and safety almost every day for years, so I'll skip the prayers. It is just unnatural to outlive a young, vital, beautiful, engaging young guy. As a parent, you know you should always go first. I'm pissed right now, but I'll say. Hold the ones you love closely. Let them know how much you love them.

Praying for you and your family brother

I can't imagine the horror. I'm not sure I could even take a breath were I in your situation. I'm sorry doesn't even begin to express my feelings. I'm not overly religious. But I offer you my heart. My thoughts. My time. My name is Keith. My number is 615.339.4784.

I know you don't feel like talking and I wouldn't know what to say. But keep my number. If you ever need to reach out, I'll try to comfort or distract or just be someone you can bounce words off of.

Text if you want. I'm usually near my phone. Just let me know it's you.

Keith

It's a hard say to live one's life longer than any one of your own children. That said, I hope you can find some peace and solace as you have my deepest sympathy.

Man, this is terrible. No parent should ever have to outlive their children. I cannot imagine what you are going through. The pain is something I hope to never know or understand fully. I am so sorry.

I totally agree with you, we should not. I expect I have had no greater fear than to contemplate such an event. However, who better than we to handle such a tragedy. In the recent past a very good friend of mine had this same thing happen. His son and his family were very popular in his large church congregation and the whole area. Needless to say at his church the "line" to pay condolence was very long (could take up to an hour from start to end). It took several hours, as every dad, younger person, and most of the men passed this dad he hugged them and leaned to their ear and said "tell you children speed kills and hug them and tell them you love them every time they leave the house because it could be the last time you see them in this life". This has been told to me by one of my grown sons. Being the coward I am, I didn't have the nerve to stand before this man, my friend, and try to console him......

Sorry brother. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling right now. As a parent myself, I pray for my daughter's safety every single day and still worry like crazy about something happening to her.

The greatest fear we can have as a parent, I believe, is the loss of a child. I have four of my own, and a step-son I consider my own, and I could not imagine the heartache, grief, pain you must be going through. We sometimes question why God would allow this to happen, and I don't have the answer, but I just encourage you to keep your faith in God, and as another poster said, remember the great times you had together, and always think of him that way. May God ease your suffering and heartache. My prayers are with you brother.

Prayers lifted to you and your family. I can't imagine what that's like and hope and pray I never experience it. Parents should never outlive their kids!

#VN love
