Today would've been my sons second birthday. I was in Afghanistan when my fiance and our son were driving to the store. It was about 8pm and the were struck head on by a drunk driver. They were both killed instantly. Often I think that it was me who was unlucky. I feel like I missed my chance to be with them.Later that day was when we struck by an IED. Today is a sad day for me. I can't help but think what kind of man he would've grown up to be. Here is his picture.

I can't imagine the pain. It is good, though, that you can talk about it, and maybe talk through the hurt and loss.

It's also good that you feel comfortable enough to discuss it here with us. Thanks for sharing the picture.

I try not to think about the hurt. But today that box in the back of your mind where you put all of the bad sh!t that happens in your life, today mine is over flowing.

Awe Irish :cry: Try to find comfort that he is in a better place now. My prayers are that you may find some sort of peace from your suffering today.

As a father of 4, that has always been my biggest fear. I cannot even imagine how you deal with that level of pain. I also would like to thank you for your service and I hope that the pain subsides a little more each year. Thank you for sharing, it certainly makes me grateful for the blessings in my life.

Ever since you've been on here, I've wondered what happened to your wife. There is no way to make any sense of this Insane Asylum of the Universe, as nowhere else could things be this messed up. Thanks for letting us know what happened.
