Default 30 years ago today

My son & only child Nathan was born. We lost him 3-1/2 years ago, when he was 26. I stayed home from work today. My wife and I had breakfast, read some Bible, and went to the cemetery and left some flowers, said a prayer, cried...about all you can do in this situation. Life is very unfair. I miss him so much.





Oh, and I made a motovlog.

Dam....that is extremely sad. Truly, life is not fair.

My twin boys turn 26 soon. Just the thought of losing one of them makes my heart feel like a vise is crushing it.

A parent's worst nightmare. I just hope I die before my daughter. Wish I could offer words that would help, but doubt if there are any. You're right, life can be terribly unfair.

Oh, how heartbreaking. My youngest will be 30 in April. I can tell from your video, you are a great Dad. Keep the faith, brother.
My middle son's name is George Nathan. One of my favorite names, and a great prophet.

God bless Nathan and his family...
I will toast him this evening over a pint of Guinness!
