Today is the Saddest Day for Me.

[simnettpratt]

I love you irish. I wish I could help.

Wow praying for peace for you brother, all of our days are numbered, and though its tough to lose, God will see you through it till your day comes. Live well and honor the lost, as I know you are brother.

My heart breaks for you Nathan. When the sad memories return try and replace them with the good times you had with them. That's what I try to do when I remember seeing my mom being pulled off of life support. I'll be praying for you, my friend.

Such a tragic loss. My heart goes out to you Irish and I can't begin to know what pain you endured when you found out. It's not something you'll ever get over but, I wish for peace to compass about your heart and mind eventually

You got friends all over the world pulling for you now. Keep your head up. It gets better.

"God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;"

-Psalm 46:1-2
I pray for you Irish. May the Lord bless and keep you!

May he make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

And give you his peace.

I raise my pipe to you, irish, and you are in my thoughts today. I'm sorry for your tremendous loss.

I just had to google up what an IED was, wow, what a nasty ass device with so many variations on it. Statistics showing how effective it is, can be rather overwhelming to grasp

My prayers are with you today man. The pain of losing a sister was terrible, I can't imagine your own pain. My dad says that it gets less painful over the years. we're here for you.

Hang in there Irish. Tremendous loss can bring tremendous strength. Let the care and the love of the people in your life wash over you today and bring you peace on this saddest of days.

 

[smokenscotch]

So sorry for your loss. Today know that this community keeps you in mind. Take care.

Irish, from your posts I see many tragic things have happened to you. I'm sorry that you have had to suffer so much...you are a much stronger and wiser man than me.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers!

No one man should have to endure this pain alone, so my

brother it is with heavy heart I share this sad day with you.

May you find peace in the company of your brother/sisters

Smoke'in bowls all day in their honor

How truly sad--it is the one nightmare that every parent dreads. My heart goes out to you in your loss.

I know its not much Irish, but you and the loved ones you lost are in my prayers. Having been blessed with three children, I can only imagine the pain. As guys we are good at putting our pain in the box and soldiering on, but there are times we need to talk with our friends and family. Thank you for feeling like you can share your feelings with us, and know we are here for you. God Bless.

Irish, I too can't imagine what you are going through. I've always said "No parent should ever have to bury a child". I'm sorry for the loss of your son and wife, and glad you think enough of us to share this. I admire you're strength, and appreciate your service for our freedom.
Hang in there brother
