Today is the Saddest Day for Me.

[irishsmoker]

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 hurt for you The old cajun

As a father of three I can't begin to imagine the pain.
Hang in there man.

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.

 

[irishsmoker]

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.

I cannot imagine the level of pain this has to bring. I am very sorry. I would also like to thank you for your service to this great country.

Much Respect,

B

Awe Irish 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.

Makes ya wish that some days could be removed from the calender--and our minds. It will get easier.

Thank you for sharing, Irish. I truly am sorry for your loss and this painful day. You have friends here, and we are here for you.

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.

I'm very sorry for your loss Irish

Bad things happen to good people. I'm sorry for the loss of your son. No parent should experience that. Just light up a bowl, and try to enjoy your day

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.

It's hard to say anything that seems anywhere near adequate. You have my sympathies.

 

[kabong30]

I cannot begin to imagine what you have been through. I too am sorry for your loss.

 

[mrenglish]

Oh man. My sincere condolences, Irish. Thank you for sharing.
Michael
