1,701	daddit	Guy - crushing. Breaks my heart. I'm glad he brought you joy while he was in your life, and he had you as parents. Much Love.
1,702	daddit	I’m sorry. Hope you are able to find a good grief counselor.
1,703	daddit	Having a child that exact age I can’t imagine the pain you are in. Thank you for sharing, I wish internet hugs could be felt.
1,704	daddit	I’m so sorry for your family’s loss of your beautiful son. I’ve got a 3 yr old son that I’m going to go hug now.
1,705	daddit	Shit man, I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm at loss of words.Having a 3 year old myself i was sitting motionless in my chair for a couple of minutes, trying to comprehend a fraction of what you have to go through at this very moment before i could get myself up to write anything. Words are not able to lessen your grieve but remember that he will forever be your son.
1,706	daddit	I’m so sorry, man. All of Daddit stands behind you.
1,707	daddit	My condolences for your heavy loss. I hope you can manage to heal with time.
1,708	daddit	My sincere condolences. I am sorry.
1,709	daddit	Terrible man i send you and your family all the positive vibe i can.
1,710	daddit	Love to your family. You guys are strong and got this.
1,711	daddit	I’m so very sorry for your loss. One of my best friends lost his baby to cancer at 8 months. I won’t claim to have anything useful to say, but all I will say is don’t ever feel bad about thinking you will be “bumming people out” by bringing him up and talking about him. When my friend’s son passed, my wife and I planted a small tree in the center of our backyard. Now every morning when we wake up our own daughter we look out the window and say good morning to him and that we love him.
1,712	daddit	I stopped at 3 years 8 months cause my daughter is almost the exact same age... My heart fucking hurts for you and your family. I can't imagine how you feel and I write this with tears in my eyes that we collectively feel your pain on some level. I hope you find strength in our words and know we're all here for you.
1,713	daddit	Sending many condolences for your loss.
1,714	daddit	I am very sorry for your loss
1,715	daddit	My deepest sympathies You kindled a beautiful light into this world & gave them joy & love. His life will continue to shine through this universe for eternity.
1,716	daddit	It's my daughter's 6th birthday today (I also have a 4 year old boy). Your son will live on in my memories each year I see her blow out her candles. You sound like a good man. Be strong friend.
1,717	daddit	This post broke something in me. I send you all the hugs and all the love, I am very sorry for your loss.
1,718	daddit	I’m so sorry. I’ve read this somewhere before. Not sure if you’re religious or not, but this was so… comforting? to me.. Someone will inevitably, wrongly tell you “This is part of Gods plan, even if we don’t understand it now.” I’m here to tell you, this is not part of God’s plan. This is a horribly sad thing, and He is weeping alongside you.
1,719	daddit	This is heartbreaking. My deepest condolences, I’m so sorry for your loss.
1,720	daddit	Hugs, man. Long ones. Rest in peace, little homie. And fuck cancer.
1,721	daddit	I’m so so so sorry. I’m sending you all our love and support to you and your family. I don’t know what else I can say but if you ever need to talk my DMs are always open.
1,722	daddit	My most sincere condolences.
1,723	daddit	giving you and your family my love.
1,724	daddit	Rip
1,725	daddit	I’m so sorry for your loss. Please stay strong for us all
1,726	daddit	Mate, I'm so sorry. Words are inadequate. I wish I could give you a hug right now. Please take care.
1,727	daddit	I am heartbroken for you and your family.
1,728	daddit	Love to you and yours. Your internet dad friends are here if we can do anything. Take care during this difficult time.
1,729	daddit	So sorry for your loss.
1,730	daddit	I cannot fathom what words would even be appropriate here. I am so so so sorry. That is absolutely heartbreaking. I hope you all find a way to live full lives again sometime in the future. I can't even imagine.
1,731	daddit	I’m so sorry.
1,732	daddit	Sorry dude.
1,733	daddit	So, so deeply sorry to you and your family.
1,734	daddit	Thank you for sharing. My heart breaks for you and your family. Words can’t express the pain I feel for you:(
1,735	daddit	Goodness, friend. I’ve got a 3yo myself. I can’t imagine your pain. I don’t know you but I love you. I am so sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers.
1,736	daddit	Fuckin hang in there dude, sorry for the trouble life’s thrown at you
1,737	daddit	I send all my love to you. And to the parent of others battling. We care!
1,738	daddit	So very sorry for your loss, he sounded like a wonder little guy.
1,739	daddit	My deepest sympathies. I can’t imagine the pain you and your family are feeling and no words could help you in this time but I will say this, fuck cancer. Be strong and hoping you and your family can find the light through this.
1,740	daddit	For whatever it’s worth I’m incredibly sorry
1,741	daddit	I’m so sorry for your late. Sending much hugs through the internet.
1,742	daddit	I am so sorry. I can’t imagine what you’re going through.
1,743	daddit	I wish I had comfort to offer. You are in my thoughts. Stay strong brother.
1,744	daddit	I know they can’t do much but my thoughts and virtual hugs are with you and your family.
1,745	daddit	Sorry for your loss my friend.
1,746	daddit	I can't imagine. The world is just not fair my friend. During these impossible times, I hope you are able to find peace, clarity, and resolution
1,747	daddit	Couldn't read the body just the title and that was enough. Sorry man.
1,748	daddit	Oh man. Love to you and yours.
1,749	daddit	I am so sorry for your loss, brother.
1,750	daddit	Oh fuck that's awful. I look at my son and I have all my hopes and fears for him, whether or not he'll find happiness in life and have a good future and it's just unthinkable that he wouldn't have any future at all. I can't do anything for you. I can't really say anything. Fuck.
1,751	daddit	The fact you’re here, sharing your story and loss, shows how strong you really are. Truly sorry for your loss and we thank you for sharing your story about your son.
1,752	daddit	What do you say to someone living your worst fear? I’m impressed by your strength, by your ability to enjoy your time with your family, and even think clearly enough to write this post. I sincerely do not think I could do the same. I wish your family peace, and rest, and a reprieve from any form of poor chance.
1,753	daddit	My deepest condolences. Your cherished memories will live on.
1,754	daddit	Love to you and your family.
1,755	daddit	My deepest sympathies and condolences. You were there for him and a fantastic Dad. Much love friend.
1,756	daddit	I will drunk cry for you my man. You did the hardest job I can think of, good job dad.
1,757	daddit	I'm so sorry.
1,758	daddit	I’m so sorry. I wish I could do more than just offer words. But if you ever need anyone to vent to; know that myself, and many of the r/daddit community are here for you.
1,759	daddit	I am so so sorry. Big big hugs.
1,760	daddit	I have no words my friend. Sending you all the love I can give.
1,761	daddit	Love is eternal, hang in there.
1,762	daddit	My heart hurts. I’m so sorry. Sending all my love to you.
1,763	daddit	I’m so sorry. May the universe bring you both peace. You’ve been through enough for multiple lifetimes.
1,764	daddit	May his memory be a blessing. Please please find a therapist/counselor to talk about this with.
1,765	daddit	I’m crying my eyes out at the kitchen table. I’m so sorry. You’re living a nightmare and I hope you and your wife are able to lean on those around you and are able to not be afraid to not be ok. Praying for your family.
1,766	daddit	I’m so sorry. I can not imagine. As much love as I can send.
1,767	daddit	I am so sorry. Your son sounds like he was a remarkable little boy.
1,768	daddit	I am so sorry. I cannot imagine how you and your family must feel. However, you should take solace knowing that your sons 3 years and 8 months were spent in the most loving environment possible and thay you and your wife did everything you possibly could in those last 6 months. The fact that your son was laughing and joking right up until the end speaks volumes x
1,769	daddit	I have no words. I'm sorry. I will keep you & yours in my heart tonight, and for many more. He didn't deserve this and neither did your family.
1,770	daddit	Sorry for your loss.
1,771	daddit	Thinking of you and your partner..
1,772	daddit	Nothing can be said or done to remove your suffering. Trust that time will help make it bearable. My condolences for your loss
1,773	daddit	Try to keep your head up brother… be there for your wife and she for you and your 1 year old… love what you have now and always remember him in great memories
1,774	daddit	I am so sorry. I read this and literally am crying for two and your son. I lost my brother at 51 August last year to stage 4 brain cancer. He died also in my arms. We were as close as brothers/ best friends could be. In all the pain I went through with him going through cancer. I can not imagine doing that with my 3 year old child. Hold each other tightly and don't drift apart. Be a reflection of your son for the rest of you life. I know I am with my brother. Tears for you and your family.
1,775	daddit	I’m so, so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. Life can be so immensely and unfathomably cruel sometimes.
1,776	daddit	Sending you love from across the ocean. Incredibly sorry for your loss. My daughter is about the same age and I can’t fathom what you all are going through. I hope you have the support and help you need.
1,777	daddit	I can't imagine your pain, and I don't think anything we can say can make it better... But vent as much as you need to, everyone deserves a good cry when life hits hard, even dad's.
1,778	daddit	All my love to you.
1,779	daddit	I think we all give you and your wife a resounding hug of condolences. We all love you for the strength your family needed during this moment. May your memories of your son never fade.
1,780	daddit	love you bro, hang in there. i am a stranger, but i can be an ear if you need one.
1,781	daddit	I'm sorry for what you and your family have to go through. May you find comfort in knowing he's not hurting anymore.
1,782	daddit	So sorry for your loss, your son sounds like he was a great kid that felt every bit of y'all's love.
1,783	daddit	I am so sorry to read. May your sons memory be eternal. My heart hurts for you and the family.
1,784	daddit	Oh brother. I can't imagine. I simply can't. Your love and nature comes through beautifully on this post. I'm sorry for your families loss.
1,785	daddit	Know that you and your wife did everything that was humanely possible, and that a life filled with happiness is fulfilling no matter how short. I'm sorry internet friend.
1,786	daddit	I cant imagine what you are going through. I'll be praying for you all as often as I think of you.
1,787	daddit	I am so, so sorry. Nobody should have to go through losing a son or daughter. You and your wife are stronger than you both know. Just remember to get help if you need it, speak to people and make sure you're there for your other kid. I wish you all the best in the world. You've got this mum and dad!
1,788	daddit	Sending lots of love to you and your boy
1,789	daddit	Dude I am so sorry. I will be donating $103 to brain cancer research in your sons honor. Hang in there, all of you.
1,790	daddit	My sincerest sympathies. The world is too cruel. I teared up just thinking about what you must be going through and what it would be like to lose my son, but I couldn't imagine and hope I never learn. I hope that you and your wife are getting the support you need and find the strength to carry on together.
1,791	daddit	you are a wonderful father and did exactly what you needed to do. I am so sorry for you, but also inspired and full of respect.
1,792	daddit	II can feel the pain in your post and if you or anyone needs to vent I can always lend an ear and virtual shoulder. Take care!
1,793	daddit	All the love in the world my Dad, friend.
1,794	daddit	I'm waiting for the day we can beat cancer once and for all. My heart bleeds for you and your family - as a father of a soon-to-be 3yo girl i can only promise you to hug her extra tight for you. I hope you, your son and wife will be able to get through this, together. Seek help if you need it. Be there for each other. Keep those memories sacred forever.
1,795	daddit	I’m in tears rn. My heart goes out to you and your family. I’m so sorry for you guys.
1,796	daddit	…fuck… man my daughter is the same age and I couldn’t imagine going through something like this… I’m legitimately shook… I’ll be sure to hug my girl a bit tighter than usual. I’m sincerely sorry for your loss OP.
1,797	daddit	I'm a dad of 3 toddlers (4, 3, and 20 months) and man, I read this in a restaurant waiting on a pickup order and broke down crying. I cannot even imagine the pain of your loss or the strength you have to post this. My deepest condolences possible.
1,798	daddit	One of the most unfair things that exists is the fact that children can die of cancer. FUCK CANCER. I am so sorry for your loss
1,799	daddit	You are living everyone's worst nightmare and I am so, so sorry. No one deserves to have to go through what you are. Try to take comfort in knowing that you gave him all the love you could in his short time on earth, and he gave you all the love he could too. Nothing will heal the wound but I hope and pray that with time, it will eventually hurt a little less. My heart goes out to you, fellow dad. For what it's worth, you've got this little corner of Reddit all behind you if you need a little strength. May your little prince rest in peace and forever live on in your heart.
1,800	daddit	Your little boy didn’t lose the battle. From the sounds of it, he kept who he was, which means he won in the end. As many others have said, no words can express my sympathies for you and your family, and I hope you all are able to move forward. The only piece of wisdom I can pass on is something I heard from pop culture, and that is grief is the love you have for your son with seemingly no place to go. So every time you feel the wave rush over you, remember it’s the love you have for that brave warrior, and know that energy like that can radiate out to the universe wherever he is. It’s okay to not be okay right now, and know all of us are here should you need us.

Know that you and your wife did everything that was humanely possible, and that a life filled with happiness is fulfilling no matter how short. I'm sorry internet friend.

I am so, so sorry. Nobody should have to go through losing a son or daughter. You and your wife are stronger than you both know. Just remember to get help if you need it, speak to people and make sure you're there for your other kid. I wish you all the best in the world. You've got this mum and dad!

My sincerest sympathies. The world is too cruel. I teared up just thinking about what you must be going through and what it would be like to lose my son, but I couldn't imagine and hope I never learn. I hope that you and your wife are getting the support you need and find the strength to carry on together.

I'm waiting for the day we can beat cancer once and for all. My heart bleeds for you and your family - as a father of a soon-to-be 3yo girl i can only promise you to hug her extra tight for you. I hope you, your son and wife will be able to get through this, together. Seek help if you need it. Be there for each other. Keep those memories sacred forever.

…fuck… man my daughter is the same age and I couldn’t imagine going through something like this… I’m legitimately shook… I’ll be sure to hug my girl a bit tighter than usual. I’m sincerely sorry for your loss OP.

I'm a dad of 3 toddlers (4, 3, and 20 months) and man, I read this in a restaurant waiting on a pickup order and broke down crying. I cannot even imagine the pain of your loss or the strength you have to post this. My deepest condolences possible.

One of the most unfair things that exists is the fact that *children* can die of cancer. FUCK CANCER. I am so sorry for your loss

You are living everyone's worst nightmare and I am so, so sorry. No one deserves to have to go through what you are. Try to take comfort in knowing that you gave him all the love you could in his short time on earth, and he gave you all the love he could too. Nothing will heal the wound but I hope and pray that with time, it will eventually hurt a little less. My heart goes out to you, fellow dad. For what it's worth, you've got this little corner of Reddit all behind you if you need a little strength. May your little prince rest in peace and forever live on in your heart.

Your little boy didn’t lose the battle. From the sounds of it, he kept who he was, which means he won in the end. As many others have said, no words can express my sympathies for you and your family, and I hope you all are able to move forward. The only piece of wisdom I can pass on is something I heard from pop culture, and that is grief is the love you have for your son with seemingly no place to go. So every time you feel the wave rush over you, remember it’s the love you have for that brave warrior, and know that energy like that can radiate out to the universe wherever he is. It’s okay to not be okay right now, and know all of us are here should you need us.
