Will tell you now that you will cry

Well...that made my day. :sadeyes:

Ya sorry man. Got me and my wife off guard too. We both were doing what we could not to break right down totally.
But at least you had the note saying that "you will cry".
We didnt have that warning. Like it would have mattered. Probably would have watched it anyways.

But have to say. Im glad we were able to make your day. And Im not trying to be sarcastic.
If you really think about it, what the father has created here is an absolutely beautiful thing.
It is presented as a memoir to his child. Telling in his own past tense as to how proud he is of him. Of how he had changed his life. How important and how much it had meant to him to have been able to watch him grow and struggle through life's cruelties. How much of a gift it was to have been offered the opportunity to have him in his life.

As unfortunate as it is that his son will never hear those words. I think that it is really more of a message to all of us. To all of us that still have the opportunity to say those things to our own children.
He said every thing that Im sure we all feel. That we all should say. But as fortunate as many of us are, we tend to forget that tomorrow is much more than just another day. We seem to forget how precious we all mean to each other. We seem to forget what tomorrow may bring because we are comfortable with the security that has been afforded us by the chance of fortune.

I do feel sad for him. But more so I feel indebted to him. For opening my eyes to what I have taken for granted. I feel indebted to him for reminding me what it truly felt when my own children were born. What it meant, what I thought, and what I said I would do and become just for them !!!!

My tears were without a doubt for him and his family. But there were many tears there because of my own selfishness of content.

I dont believe his intention was for others to cry for him. I believe his intention was to portray exactly what he experienced. And to re-instill that within others that may have forgotten.

It was truly a beautiful thing. And all though we cried our hearts out, It did make our day better as a family. And memory willing....it will continue to...

Well...that made my day. :sadeyes:

As it was intended to ? :grouphug:

As it was intended to ? :grouphug:

Sarcasm. Anyway, I am exposed to people like this at work more often than I'd like to be. It always makes me grateful that I have healthy daughter, and that I have good health myself. I often wonder how people cope with the sadness and despair after losing a child.

Maybe with sarcasm...Doh ! there I go again.

Ya sarcasm aside.
An inspiration if anything. And if anything else, something that we all need to reflect upon from time to time.
When it makes one stronger and they are capable of passing that strength on to others.......How some can get through that........I really dont know what to say.....

Its more than I believe I would be able to deal with.......................
