As a parent who has lost a son - I feel this immensely. At least you can see his face. That’s more than I can say for mine. He’ll forever be 12 years old to me.

As a parent who has lost a son - I feel this immensely. At least you can see his face. That’s more than I can say for mine. He’ll forever be 12 years old to me. What helped me was giving back. I’m sure the road ahead will be hard, but don’t give up.

- imetatroll 3y agoVery sorry to hear. I lost my boy five years ago and it just isn't something that ever gets better in the true sense, but we all have to learn how to live with it somehow.
- reactordev 3y agoAround the same timeframe and same outcome. Stay strong. I know exactly how you feel.

- reactordev 3y agoI’d rather not, if you don’t mind.
- tlivolsi 3y agoNo worries. I understand.
