I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine facing the loss of a child in such an accident. In my dad's accident, he was on a straight road that he's driven on hundreds of times over the past 12 years. He was wearing his helmet, but with an open face. The helmet didn't make any difference for him. No skid marks, no other vehicles involved, he didn't hit anything. No autopsy was performed, so we don't know if he had some kind of medical issue that resulted in the accident. A heart attack or stroke would answer much, but it's too late to find out now.

I will keep you in my prayers for your loss.

You know, the blow was almost unbearable. My first born. My son. But i also know that the loss of a parent is too, my dad died 28 years ago. I still cry sometimes.
We'll stand with you and we'll listen when/if you want to just talk (write) I was able to get through it with the love and support of others. Notably, one who understood the pain of losing a child, but also friends and family who would just hold me when i cried. And sometimes that will happen.
God bless,
s.

I didn't realize your father had an accident. I didn't even know him but it makes me feel really sad for all of you. God bless you, dear SoldierDad and your family, too.
