I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said already but I wanted to add my condolences. Connor and your family are in my thoughts. We've been through some scary health stuff with our kids and that was tough enough. I truely can't imagine going through what you have.

I can only echo what the rest of these dads are relating to you. What an unfathomable loss. You are amazing for being there for your little boy while you were able, despite how difficult it must have been. My thoughts are with you and your wife today. I don't know you, but I love you. I wish you any peace that you are capable of feeling.

You are a father forever and this is your son forever. Nothing can take that away from you. I hope find the strength keep moving forward. Conner will always be in your heart and a part of your soul.

What is there to say. You know better than anyone the depths of the love and the loss. You know every turn of his hair, the glint in his eye, the sound of his sleeping breath. You and your partner were blessed with a perfect little slice of heaven on earth, and its absence is unquenchable sorrow. I am deeply sorry for you both. I will hold you three in my heart for a while, sending all the love I can. Wherever he is, I'm sure that he's sending his love to you unceasingly, constantly reminding you that your love gave him form and meaning and continues to even now. Love you, dad. You are loved.

Fuck this man, fuck this so much. I hate it all, it is so unfair. We need so much more science right now, we'll have it someday. We must. He was lucky to have you and your wife as parent, you did the best, and he had the best life he could regarding his condition.
7,322
daddit
As a first-time dad to a 1yo, this is one of my main fears. I also work in the healthcare space so come across stories like this way too often. I wish you find the strength you need to get through this and recover, and my thoughts are with your family.
7,323

I am celebrating the life of your beautiful boy and hugging my children even closer. Love you my friend. It will get better.

This is heart breaking. I am so sorry for you and your families loss. Keep your head up the best you can. I can’t even begin to imagine the feelings. You’re a great dad and a strong man.
7,326

No parent should outlive their child. Such a painful experience. Please take my love and best wishes and I'll be thinking of your family today.
7,327

This post made me tear up but I commend you and your family. I have no idea what pain you've experienced, being a father myself to a 1.5 year old this post hurts so much and I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through.
7,330
daddit
What a sweet, wonderful boy. He knows how much you love him. You will be reunited in the end.
7,331

I'm sitting here crying at work. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I admire your strength.

As a father of one child only. My child was born after 12 years of trying. I can’t imagine the pain but I wanted to say be strong.

I am so very sorry. You all fought like hell, you did all you could. Doesn’t make it better but you did you best.

Words can not describe the sadness I feel for you and yours. I can't even imagine. I am just, so sorry. Life's not fair.

I'm sure it doesn't mean much coming from a stranger online that you've never met, but I am truly sorry. I am holding back tears here at my work because of your loss. You and your family are in my prayers to the Almighty to give you strength and compassion. Feel free to reach out if you ever feel the need to talk to someone. Hang in there, fellow father.
7,344

I cant imagine your pain, I am so sorry
7,345
daddit
I'm so, so sorry. I hope you find peace and the pain becomes something you can manage soon. My daughter died 21 hours after she was born. She would be turning 4 this June.

I am speechless. This post is why I am broken. I feel you. My son has a syndrome similar to Parkinson's. I read your post and I see my future. I tried to reach my 12 year old how to tie his shoes this morning and he couldn't do it. His tremors aren't too bad, but laces aren't easy. How has this past year been? Is it as bad as I imagine. I'm balling here, at the very real possibility that I am walking in your footsteps.
7,347

I am so sorry you lost your beautiful, perfect boy.
7,348

So sorry man. Tearing up just reading this. Stay strong.
7,349
daddit
I would have said "Wow, that's terrible" 7 years ago. I have 3 children now. I am doing my best not to cry on a conference call. Stay strong, brother. Every day you draw breath is a victory after a blow like that.
7,350
daddit
I’m so sorry, my man. God does everything for a reason even if we don’t see it.
7,351

You have my support and all my heart that is available. My deepest condolences and your love has made me love more deeply today. Thank you for sharing him with us (even just a glimpse of his life has made ours incalculably better).

dude i never really fully understood the gravity of these posts until i had my own kid. you have made me cry this morning at work and my sympathy for you and ur family is unexplainable and immeasurable.

Crying on a Zoom call. We're all here for you, my man. Love you.

I’m a father of two young boys and this is my nightmare. I’m so sorry you have to go through this. There’s nothing anyone can say to make it better, but I do believe time will help the pain. I hope you and your wife can find some peace amidst such difficult circumstances
7,355

I am so sorry for you and the families loss
7,356
daddit
I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine. God bless you and your family. My baby boy turns 1 in a few weeks and I can’t imagine having multiple children and have my heart and anxiety split between multiple children.

Stay strong, friend. My sister lost a 6 month old to SIDS. I never got to meet her but I helped dig her grave and bury her. My dad played "Golden Slumbers" on guitar at her funeral and broke down and cried doing it. It was so hard on all of us, my sister the most. I can't pretend to know what your going through but I have an idea and I am so sorry, sir. My heart goes out to you. "Once there was a way To get back homeward Once there was a way To get back home Sleep, pretty darling Do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake when you rise Sleep, pretty darling Do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way To get back homeward Once there was a way To get back home Sleep, pretty darling Do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Boy, you gonna carry that weight Carry that weight A long time Boy... I never give you my pillow, I only send my invitations. And in the middle of the celebration I break down and cry. Boy you're gonna carry that weight. Carry that weight a long time" - Paul McCartney

There are a couple stories from this sub that stick in my head and my heart and yours is absolutely one of them. I have no words, I cannot relate…but I have cried a few times for you and your family. I hope you all are doing okay.

Fuck bud. What is there to say here? Fuck everything about this (other than your love and effort of course)! We should all be so lucky to have such a caring father. I'll give my boy an extra hug for your little man today. Hope you and yours are doing ok.
7,362
daddit
I don't know how I would handle a loss like that. All I can say is that it hurts just thinking about something like that, so I can't even imagine the hurt and sadness you've experienced. Hoping each day is just a bit better than the one before.
7,363
daddit
I nearly cried just seeing your title, and I scrolled away to get away from that awful feeling. But I came back to tell you I cannot imagine what you're going through but I'm here with you.
7,364
daddit
I'm so sorry. I will hug my 23-month old boy extra hard when I pick him up from daycare today. I can't even imagine going through something like this.
7,365

Sorry for your loss
7,366

I am so very sorry for your loss.
7,367
daddit
So sorry to hear about this. It sounds cliche but I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. Kids are so innocent and it seems incredibly unfair to have such horrible things put upon them. It’s obvious he was loved and loved you. God bless you and give you strength.
7,368
daddit
You are in my thought today. Hope you are able to continue life with your head up
7,369

Big hug man. You were dealt a card that a parent should never get.

Deeply sorry for your loss I couldn’t even imagine the pain you’ve endured … god bless you and your family … keep fighting the good fight and stay strong
7,371
daddit
No amount of " I'm sorry for your loss" will ever take that emptiness inside. I'm crying for you right now. I can't imagine the amount of emotions you went through. Much love from one dad to another. May your son rest in peace amd play with angels in heaven.
7,372
daddit
I hate to upvote something this sad but I'm sorry brother. Prayers to you.
7,373
daddit
Oof. Big feels. Seeing you hold your son and the way he grabs you tight just makes me think of my eldest and the pain I would feel if I went through the same thing. It's so bittersweet I wish you the best
7,374
daddit
This picture is so powerful. I'm sitting here crying, thinking about what I would do if something like this happened to my 4 month old daughter. They really become your entire world. May your son rest in peace.
7,375
daddit
I don’t know you, but I am sending you a virtual hug.
7,376
daddit
I can’t even imagine the pain you’ve felt. Seeing this image brought me to tears because Connor looks a lot like my own son. I hope you find ways to honor his life within your own. I’m certain his presence provided joy and blessings to this planet and your family that will never be forgotten. Be strong my friend. Perhaps you’ll be able to be a support for others in the future as our world puts other parents through these traumas. Proud of you for making it, talking about it, and sticking by your son to the last second.

In moments like this I remind myself that even if my either of my sons died today, I'm grateful I got to hold them and know them even for a little while. Thank you for sharing your story.

I'm thinking good thoughts for you and your wife Dad... I'm so terribly sorry for your loss...
7,385

I am hoping to be a first time dad in about a month when our son is born. Posts like this are a reminder that nothing is guaranteed and that we have to cherish any time we are lucky enough to live. I am careful to not mention things like your situation to my wife because the anxiety is certainly not something she needs but I think it's certainly something to be conscious of as a possibility. Being a parent is kinda scarey and not in the ways you would typically think.
7,386

I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. Hugs and sympathy to you op.
7,387

My deepest condolences on your loss.

Can not imagine how devastating his passing was for you. So very sorry for your loss. You’ve got one adorable guardian angel now.

Damn, I cried at work reading this. I can’t imagine how hard it is. I hope life finds a way to make up for it, even if only a little.

Your little dude looked like a proper little dude. I’ll give my almost 2 year old an extra tight squeeze when he wakes up tomorrow. I can’t imagine how hard this is.

7,395

As a dad of two I fear this so much, and I genuinely feel pain just thinking about what you’ve been through. Pain that can’t possibly be a candle next to the sun of what you experienced. I am so sorry man. I hope you find so much more happiness in life to help even begin to offset this.

Had a friend lose their young son to cancer a year ago as well. He died in his mom’s arms. It’s so earth shatteringly awful, and I’m so, so sorry for your loss. I used to work pediatrics, and the hardest part was knowing that those parents did nothing wrong, and there’s nothing preventing me from being on their side of the bed, watching their child fight for their life. There is no fairness in this life.

I don't know you and you don't know me. But I want you to know that you're a good dad. Your boy, Connor, looks very similar to my youngest kid and honestly I had to do a double take to see it wasn't him in the picture. This post and comment really hit me hard tonight and I want you to know that Connor IS awesome. I know he's not with you in person anymore, but he will forever be with you. What a bright shining little boy he is. I know you will always remember him and I hope his memory lives on within your family. We are here for you fellow Dad.

Thats such an awful fucking story man. I dont have any words but I hope you and your wife find some measure of peace.
