Father of two. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your post moved me to tears and I indeed did hug my kids again just now. I can't imagine your pain, stay strong.

What an beautiful picture. Sending all the love from my family to yours. I promise that I will never forget your wise words and that I will remember you and your family as long as I live. Hopefully we'll all meet back at the source someday. Thank you for being his father. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Thanks for being there for him when he was on this lovely planet with us. Some kids don't grow up with loving parents. This one kid in the pic, well we'll we know his dad loved him as much as he possibly could. <3

My condolences to you and your family. Can't imagine the tough times you've been through. can you tell us about your boy? Share a fun story about him or his quirky habits that he had that made your heart melt? He looks like a happy child.

There are no words that could possibly express how much I wish I could help you and your family carry the weight. I am crying my eyes out. Maybe it aids you somewhat knowing that so many people, mostly strangers, are keeping you and your beautiful son in their thoughts. I usually find this stuff corny but this poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye has always soothed me when death has come: *Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.*

He looks like a happy dude. He was lucky to have you as a parent. All the best to you bud!

I just read through your post history after Thanksgiving dinner and now my family wants to know why I'm crying. My wife just had our second son on Friday a few weeks early at home. Both our boys are happy and healthy so I'm happy about that even though we're very very poor. My cousin has a boy who's 18 months whose got Cerebral Palsy and has a stent in his head and had multiple surgeries. We know that he'll never develop mentally fully but we're not sure if he'll even survive his childhood. He's so sweet though and it breaks my heart when my son plays with him knowing the reality of the situation. I can't even think about my boys dying now, it's too hard to think about. It was hard enough to lose my mom when I was a kid. I hope you and your wife heal somehow in the next few years and maybe try again at some point unless it's genetic.

I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words. You are in our thoughts.
2,631

Take care of yourself, friend.
2,632
daddit
Take care and know that fellow dads out here have you in our thoughts. This reminds me to reach out to some of my friends who have hit rough patches themselves.
2,633
daddit
I can't even fathom what you're going through right now. Stay strong. I'm sure he would want you to remember the good times.
2,634

My wife and I just went through a miscarriage and it was and still is so god damn devastating. I used to wonder why parents really cared if a kid died, like I had this stupid "logical" rationalistic view that went along the lines of "so what if the kid dies, the parent can always make another one". Man, I sincerely regret ever thinking that way. Our baby was not even born, we never got to know him/her or even see him/her but the loss is just so damn deep and devastating. I cannot even imagine what you must be going through. No parent should ever have to bury a child. I wish you all the best of luck my friend, I really mean it.
2,635

Be well man. *hug*

I have a friend whose son lived for 1 year due to being born too early. He lived in a hospital room his whole life except for a few previous weeks. Finally the doctors said that his lungs hadn't developed while the rest of his body had, and he was going to slowly suffocate over days or weeks. They decided to turn off his respirator, and they walked outside and held him in the sunshine while he took his final breaths. I still cry when I think about their last moments together. I am very very sorry for your loss and I appreciate you sharing this with all of us. Just remember you are not alone.
2,637
daddit
I'm so sorry. I don't have any clue what you must be feeling, but I hope that our thoughts for you help. You are a strong man, and I'm sure your children are looking up to you right now. Edit: Dammit woman, quit cutting all those onions in here!

You are the one to hug. Period. Five blessed years with a lot of everlasting memories.
2,643
daddit
You're blessed. Only had my eldest for 3, I'd give anything to have had two more years with my baby. Welcome to the shittiest club on Earth, brother. I hope you have the resources you need to get through, and remember that you don't owe anyone a certain kind of grief. You mourn and celebrate him *your* way, not anyone elses.
2,644
daddit
I'm so, so very sorry. My son was stillborn and it ripped my heart out. I can't imagine getting to know him properly, knowing his personality, and *then* losing him. May your little guy play forever among the stars and rainbows. He looks like he was a real character.
2,645

I love you, stranger. From one dad to another.
2,646

When someone leaves us suddently, it's brutal, shocking. When they leave us with warning, and are given more time than expected, it's nothing less than a gift from God. I'm so happy you had those 5 years. Love from wherever I am to wherever you are.
2,647
daddit
Damn. My 5 year old boy is on my lap right now. I couldn't imagine being without him. I'm so sorry, homie.

I'm fighting back some man tears at work here. Sorry for your loss. It looks like you guys gave him a happy life. I'm sure he would thank you for not giving up on him. Stay strong buddy.

I knew I wasn't ready for this post after reading your title early in the morning. But here I am, heart heavy and tears welling up in my eyes. But even more so, sending you prayers and love right now, man. What a father. Stay strong. We'll be here for you and your family.
2,655
daddit
I'm so sorry man. I lost my son about a year and a half ago when he was five. He was also on a trach and g-tube for feeding. For me Christmas, his birthday, and the anniversary of his death are the worst days for me. People will try to tell you it gets easier, but honestly it just starts to hurt in a different way the longer it goes. I still think about my son everyday. I don't really have any words to help you, but just know you're not alone. If you ever need to talk about anything don't hesitate to contact me.
2,656
daddit
I feel for you. Hopefully he's in a better place watching over you.
