No sadder phrase than this

Gulp. How terribly sad. I'm glad to find his site, he is an excellent writer. Having lost a child myself, I can relate to all those, "would have beens." Thanks for posting.

Beautifully written, honestly felt. Avoids the saccharine and makes its point, so we can share his grief. Very moving. How sad that such an obviously decent man suffers so eloquently, but perhaps only decent people CAN truly know suffering, anyway.

That was very very sad, but very very well written. Thanks.

Of all the things I am so very fond of you for, directing me to his site is undoubtedly very high upon the list. Thank you for that.
