Well said, Tom. It certainly is a reminder to stop and check one’s priority list.
“Tragic” doesn’t even come close. I lost a son at 6 weeks. It never goes away. It’s kind of like living with an in-grown toenail: you get used to the pain, but every once in a while, you step wrong and have to sit down for a minute because it feels like your toe is about to explode.
