Loosing a child is the worst nightmare someone have to live. I am very sad to hear this. Tell your friend he has all our support...

My buddy, Bob, is doing as well as can be expected. Things are crazy, he had to pick out a casket yesterday, make arrangements for the funeral/church/burial. He saw the car that his son was driving, covered in blood and bits of bone and hair. We were glad to hear that no alcohol was involved in the accident (that we know of, but the folks he was with before the accident said he wasn't drinking, although the toxicology reports weren't back yet). He was driving home from a restaurant, back to his mom's house, and even called her on his cell to tell her he was on his way. A real good kid.
I still can't believe it happened. I had the priveledge of meeting his son (21) about two months ago for the first time. What a blow. Bob's one of the best guys to be friends with (along with all of YOU!). He works as the laundry supervisor for the prison, and we've covered each other's backs in more than one hairy situation, and we've been through combat together. That kind of bond is rare; we've each trusted each other with our lives.
Thanks to each and every one of you who responded, prayed, sent condolences and positive thoughts. They are all appreciated.
