    So very sorry to hear this news. May all that hurt from this loss find God's peace to lessen their pain. I pray you are granted strength and may your pain be brief and your happy memories endure.

    I wish I could say I can relate.
    Pulling a small child limp lifeless body out of the water and having them finally toss all the fluid out of their lungs onto you is a totally different experience.

    Ralphie Boy , truer words never spoken. A ton of good will on here, I only know you via this forum, but I do sincerely wish you healing and time to grieve and deal with this loss. Blink of an eye our lives change yet we only see the huge ones that generally deal with us instantly. May the Peace of God descend upon you.

    I had a friend back in high school that I hadn't talked to in 60 years. We lost track of each other. We connected today and had a nice visit. With all the crazy things going on in the world today, I felt compelled to reach out and contact him. It took some mutual friends to find him, but it was worth the time spent. This thread may have given me a bit of a push as well.:handshake:
