Like any parent, it's something you never want to think about and pray it never happens. I have a few friends that have lost a child. I've only discussed it with one of them. He told me all about it during work. He recounted the smallest details and the circumstances like it happened the day before (it was 17 years after it happened). I asked him whether it ever gets any easier and does he still think about his boy. He told me no, it never gets easier and he thinks about him everyday. He pulled out a chain on his neck and there was a little anchor on it. He said he had got it for his son when he was born because they were going to be fishing buddies. That look on his face afterwards, just emptiness. I told him I had to go to the can and went and sat in a stall, bawled my eyes out for a good 10 minutes while I got my shit together. Having kids of my own I can't even imagine how fucking insane it would be. Don't even want to think about it.
