Thanks for writing this post. I'm very sorry.

I lost my nephew at 10 months, and I watched him die in my sister's arms. I remember the impotence, and it was painful. I wasn't one of his parents, but we had an extremely close bond. It's not quite the same, I know, but six years later I still cry regularly.

This is my second time reading your post. Both times it has sent lots of tears running down my cheeks. I miss my nephew.

Whenever he comes up, I appreciate it. I may make others uncomfortable by bawling, but I appreciate the chance to remember him and celebrate his memory. Your post reminded me of him, and for that I thank you.

Y'all will be in my prayers, Slavic.
