Stories like this hit me harder after having children, too.
But they also provoke thankfulness for all I have. For a little while after I read such tragic stories, I try to enjoy the everyday life a bit more, enjoy the presence of the loved ones.
Memento mori.
- BlandDuck 2y agoI agree entirely. I have two wonderful daughters, and stories like this hit hard. There is a fiction short-story called CHICXULUB By T. Coraghessan Boyle. It is one of the hardest hitting stories I have read as a parent. Still brings tears to my eyes. Recommended.
- zubairshaik 2y agoThanks for the recommendation, it was a harrowing read. I'll have to re-visit this in 10-15 years when I'm no longer a young bachelor. Here's a link for anyone else who wants to read it: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2004/03/01/chicxulub https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2004/03/01/chicxulub
