I read that and would ya know that before I was done, I had tears in my eyes! The few minutes I spent reading that article really put my life into perspective. Such a tough situation for any parent to be in. Thoughts and prayers to the family!

I concur with all. Very touching and does put life into perspective. I would be as proud as the father is about the bike too. I can only imagine the pain of losing a child.
My heart goes out to the family.

The pain from the loss of a child is something that no one can explain.
I can pass along one bit of advise, never wait to tell your children how proud you are of them and how much you love them. Please include this in your everyday life.

I totally agree. My wife and I have one son. They are both my best friends. I was the bestman in our son's wedding. My son is to my right, I'm theguy in the middle, and my Cuz who is more like a brother. I need to give him a call too.

My thoughts are with you from time to time Chester. I think you are a very cool dad.

God bless you brother.

Yeah that was a moving story. I lost an older brother who was more like my dad than brother to me. I know it's not the same but that story really made me think of and miss him.
