Need Help Vol Family

[VolFaninFla]

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.

I want to let you know that I am thinking about you and your family today. I am sure there are others here that are thinking of you also but cannot find the words to say.
The hearts of Volnation are with you.

How very kind of you to think of me and I greatly appreciate it. Luckily, I have a wonderful wife, a lovely daughter, and a bunch of his friends who loved him enough to wish me happy Father's Day for him. Thanks Vol Nation and VoFaninFla.

So sorry - words don’t even come close. I lost a baby boy, not the same but kinda the same.

I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost a 20 yr old son some years ago. I am available if you think talking with someone who actually can relate would be helpful. If not, here is a tidbit of advice. Don’t let anyone tell you when and how to grieve. You take care of you. My wife told me I wasn’t grieving right because it wasn’t the way she was doing it. Take care and the offer stands.
