Thank you for your condolences. I don’t want another parent to ever go through the pain we’re experiencing. That’s why I want this war to end tomorrow.
Amen, good sir.
An anecdote, please. Many years ago my Mother had to bury our middle brother, and observed that it is "out of order" for a parent to have to bury a child. When a dear teacher of mine lost hers, my Mother and she spoke to reflect that their "club" of parents who lose children is among the hardest. It's a lousy club in which to get enrolled. Now as the last left of my clan, I fully understand. Time wears the edges off, but the ache abides. God bless.
