I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have watery eyes, I can't imagine what you are going through now. Be strong. Lots of love. Internet stranger.
2,002
daddit
My deepest sympathies. Love, hugs and compassion for you, your wife, baby and other loved ones, from a stranger on the internet
2,003
daddit
Infinite hugs to you.

I’m lying here rubbing my 3 year olds back so he falls asleep. It’s a nightly routine for us. I didn’t want to tonight, I was just so tired. Then something in me just said you never know when this will be the last time. I’m so so sorry for your loss.
2,005
daddit
Love you Dad, big long hug coming your way in spirit. Be strong for your wife and son, not too strong
2,006
daddit
You honored him, as he honored you all ...... The word "condolences" ......isn't big enough But the blessing that **you** were his parents in each passing day, and that he was **your** child, is utterly priceless Leaving a pure heart of light and innocence, in this special boy's honor and memory
2,007
daddit
I'm so sorry. I cannot imagine what you're going through but I'll hug my daughter extra tight tonight. As Norm Macdonald said when he was battling cancer, it's more of a draw since the cancer dies too. I don't know if that helps, but I thought it was a clever perspective. Love you bruddah.

No words from strangers on the internet can ever even begin to dull the pain that you must feel. I pray that I never know what it’s like. But just the same, I’m sorry.
2,009
daddit
My heart is broken for you. My son is the same age as yours and I am just crying for you. There’s nothing I can say that you haven’t heard, but you are in my prayers.
2,010
daddit
My condolences. Wishing you and your family strength during these hard times
2,011
daddit
Write every happy memory you can down as soon as possible. I haven’t lost a child, I know this may be hard. But someday they’ll still bring tears, but you will have an easier time remembering the good times. I’m so sorry for you loss. Please take the time to be with your family and grieve together.

I’m so sorry for your loss man. I can’t even imagine. My thoughts are with you and your family.

God bless your family. My heart breaks for your unbelievable loss and I cannot fathom ever living through this. Thank you for reminding us of what we all have, and what we probably take for granted most days.

I’m so sorry for your loss brother.
2,017
daddit
I’m so so sorry. Guts me just to read this so I can’t imagine what you’re going through. You’re probably still in shock and not even grieving yet. Give yourself a lot of time and space and rest, and don’t isolate yourself.
2,018

I have a 3 year old. I read your original post and it brought me to tears. I'm so sorry for everything you're going through!

From one Dad to another - Sending love your way Brother, hang in there.

I can’t come close to imagining how you feel, I’m sorry man, I’m so sorry
2,024
daddit
The pain of what could have been in such youthful sounding spirit. Rest in peace. While you have lost one, don't lose a day with his sibling. Prayers to all grieving!
2,025
daddit
Heartbroken for you man. I’m glad you had the time you had together. I’m going to hug my girls a little tighter tomorrow morning and think about your boy.

I'm so sorry fellow dad. There are no words for such a tragedy. I hope you can slowly heal together and be there for each other.
2,029

I’m so sorry my heart is literally aching reading this. I can’t imagine what you and your wife are going through right now. Your family and brave little boy will be in my thoughts tonight. Fuck cancer! Much love to you!
2,030
daddit
Sending love to your family and you friend. As a new father, my heart aches as I read this. I'm so sorry for the world's loss.
2,031
daddit
Sending love to your family. I’d love to donate to his funeral expenses if you’d let me. Feel free to DM me.
2,032
daddit
I'm so sorry. Normally when I see posts like this they're as scattered as if the bereaved were typing while half-asleep and dreaming, because the magnitude of the loss can make it hard to write clearly. Your post is really clearly written and I feel like an ER doctor (except that I can't really help you) talking to one of those farmers who come in with a spike through their skull calmly checking themselves in. Take good care of yourself in the days to come.
2,033
daddit
I'm sorry for your loss :( It sounds like he departed with all the love in the world, and I'm sure his brother will live with the same. Wish you the best as you and your family get through this dark time
2,034
daddit
I’m sorry.
2,035
daddit
I’m so sorry friend. My boys and I just said a prayer for you and your family. If you’re not spiritual, we’re still thinking of you all.
2,036
daddit
I simply cannot fathom the depth of the loss you have experienced. I am so sorry. He didn't deserve this and neither do you. Stay strong friend.
2,037
daddit
Can't even imagine. Stay strong and be there for your family. I wish you all the best.
2,038
daddit
Sorry for your loss man. Can’t begin to imagine what you’re feeling.
2,039

Can’t begin to fathom the pain you are in brother, also have a son that age. May his memory live on
2,040

So sorry brother. So so sorry.

daddit
My son turned 12 today. This just broke me. I’m so sorry my friend. Life is unfair. I can’t imagine what you are going through. I can’t imagine how long it took you to write the beautiful tribute here. I’m going to hug my children a little bit tighter tonight.
2,042
daddit
Tonight I cry tears for you stranger. I mourn the passing of one I never knew. Tonight I sit silent with you. The broken heart I may never know. Tonight know you are not alone. Though the pit must feel cold and dark. Know that I’d hold you dear stranger. Know tonight, I cry tears for you. ….. I’ve recently been pushed towards poetry by a good friend of mine - this happened in a desperate hope for a space to safely feel emotion. I know I’ve not felt your same pain, and I know you hope that I don’t. I’m no poet but this came to mind and I hope that it maybe gives you something to read and know that there are strangers out there care, and maybe some twinge of comfort from a stranger. I’m so sorry for your pain.
2,043
daddit
Sending you and your family everything I can muster. I can't imagine what it would be like losing mine. I hope you and your family can find some peace. Please take care of yourselves.
2,044

I'm sorry for your loss. Can't imagine the pain you're all going through.

Sending as much love from my home as I can to yours. Please feel free to reach out if you need an ear, I’d (along with many other homies on here) be more than happy to listen, or talk. What ever you need.

Sending some love from one dad to another. So sorry

Dead dad, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts/feelings and vent with us. I remember your lost a few months ago. We all share with you your hurt today as fellow dads. There is nothing we can say or do that will make this nightmare better but do know that we all here are sending you all love virtual hugs and prayers. May God grant you and your wife as well as family and friends the strength and serenity in these times.

Oh mate. I lost my previous partner to cancer just a couple months before we were about to get married. It was soul destroying I wanted to give up on life. I came close. Then I met my now wife and just had a baby boy (2 months old) I can’t begin to imagine how that would feel, that’s next level. Your posts are heartbreaking. I hope you and your family can recover from this, try to use the people around you for support, it’s the thing that helps the most in the darkest of times and what pulled me through, friends and family. Good luck and please accept my deepest condolences

Sorry for your loss, can imagine myself being on reddit the same day my child passed away
2,052
daddit
I have 1 son. He's 21 months. He's the only kid I will ever have because I'm 50 and my partner (who is 47) and I were not only not planning on one, but were told repeatedly that one was not possible (after 2 miscarriages- one was twins!), AND we were old- And yet here he is (miraculously?) and as costly as he is to us personally, we love him to death. "To death"... that's the part I don't want to imagine. I would be absolutely destroyed if something like this took him from us. I am SO incredibly sorry. I supposedly give good bear hugs, but I don't even know if there's one I can give that would remotely approach any kind of relief for you from this. Just know that as another father, I understand, and I... please do not let this embitter you. I'm just incredibly sorry, man. Cherish him somehow and accept any support you can and pour your heart into your other son. Also, please consider therapy. It's helped me get through some things that were still causing me problems.
2,053

I can’t imagine the pain you and your family are facing. My deepest condolences go out to your family and friends. Your love for your son will never fade, nor will the pain of loss. As you grieve and continue to grow stronger in the coming future, may he rest in peace knowing he will no longer suffer the pain and trauma inflicted by his experience with the battle. If you need help with any expenses I will be more than happy to help as best as I can by donating online if you wish. I’m so sorry for your loss brother
2,057
daddit
I have no words, know that your words display the profound love you have for your son. I hope for you and your family to find peace. My deepest condolences.

Fucking hell. I cannot imagine how y'all must be feeling right now. For what it's worth, y'all will be in my prayers. May your little boy's memory be eternal.
2,059
daddit
I'm laying with my (2 year old, 10 months [34 months]) son snuggled up sleeping. He can only sleep if I am on my back and him on top of me belly down with his blue blanky balled up on my chest. He woke up because I couldn't control the tears. He woke up, saw me, and said "Daddy, I'm here now you can be happy." he kissed me and said "All better?" I cannot begin to fathom the pain you are experiencing. My heart goes out to you as I know I would not be able to live in this world without my previous son.

It ain't fair and it ain't right. At least little man isn't suffering anymore. Pure soul and never knew anything else. You were lucky to know him
2,062

Your first post made me hug my kids extra tight. This one has me crying my eyes out. I can’t imagine your pain. He sounds like he was a special little guy. I’m sorry, OP

Fuck. Kiddo is with mom one state over so i’m sitting at home alone crying now. I can try to imagine, but know that I’ll never trying get, what you’re going through. It sounds like you and your wife are good people. It’s allowed to hurt. If you don’t already have some, I would suggest finding a therapist. Man. I don’t have any other words at the moment. DM’s are open for you or anyone else struggling who wants to talk.

So sorry for your loss brother, I can only imagine the pain. Sending love from my family to yours

Definitely one of those moments where I wish r/daddit was an in person community too where we could all give support hugs at a time like this I’m glad you enjoyed and cherished every single moment with your son; he sounded like such a little blessing! Hug, hold, and love your 1 year old that much more now. This is a reminder to all of us to cherish, appreciate, and love all of our loved ones the best we can and to not take any day for granted. We truly never know how long we have on this earth with our loved ones. Sending you lots of hugs, support, and prayers to you, your family, and anyone else going through something like this
2,091

You are loved. You are loved. You are loved.
2,092

As long as you carry him in your heart he’s never completely gone. I also believe you will see him again some day in another place where disease and sadness don’t exist. I hope you and your family can find peace some day in this impossible to understand situation. I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine. Sending love and prayers from Arkansas.
2,093

I’m sorry for this and from your post, I know that your son was loved to the fullest from the first second he entered this earth to the final second. I hope that you and your wife take good care of yourselves. May the memories of him live in forever.
