Most Tragic News Ever

Let him live on in your music, thats what i would do for me. :)

Any way you deal with it Marcos...There's nothing wrong with remembering things..I don't see how it could be possible to forget something like that.

We love you :) .

I may not have any kids, but I do know what you mean with the re-run syndrome of memories regarding lost loved ones and their passing. And not only that, but frequently the imagination will fire up and insert it's own additions. It's all natural, and probably quite necessary...but we can't help but feel it's a little cruel and tiring. Without trying to sound too cleche, you just have to try and avoid dwelling in regret, and appreciate what you had. Easier said than done, I know.

Thanks guys. It's something I don't wanna think about. I mean who likes beating themselves up with the worst day of thier life? I know it's gonna be something I live with forever. There's no changing that. I think the best I can do is try to limit how often I think about it. Thanks again everyone.

I have a support group I joined but I haven't really been active there at all. I guess I'd rather just talk about it here. It's more comfortable for me I guess. I almost feel like you guys knew Fox.

My wife seems to be really angry. I can't say I blame her. I can't be angry however because I really don't know who to be angry at. I guess I could be angry with the reality of life but that doesn't get anyone anywhere.

Jesse talks about his brother quite often. He knows he's gone and won't be coming back. He was starting to learn to write when his little brother was still around and he had asked us how to spell Fox's name. Every once in awhile I'll find a piece of paper he's been writing on and he'll have spelled Fox out. I know he misses him alot and my wife says he asks her if she has another baby in her stomach. He was really looking forward to being a big brother. He remember's Fox and that is all I can really ask of him.

Merry Christmas son. I'll never be able to express how much I wish you were here.

Breaks my heart. Wish there was some way to ease the pain. My heart goes out to you and yours this season.

Marcos, I hope it was a good holliday and everything passed relatively simply and easily.

I dont mean to steal the thread at all, but I know what you mean about the hollidays being hard.

Most of you know that my dad was shot late last year, and passed away a few days later, well obviously a year has passed and it has eased considerably, but strangely, christmas still is tough...this year and last, we managed to just start dinner on Christmas eve before my mom, and then the rest of us just broke down, but after that, the holliday was a happy one...like we just needed that little release and then we could get on with our lives.

All the positivity I posses is with you now Marcos

I know exactly what you mean. I needed my own teary moment before the heaviness subsided a little. So far it has been fun. My four year old has kept us busy all morning. My sympathies are with you as well Andrew. Also thanks Billy, I hope you are well my friend.

Despite Jolly's considerable command of the English language, he couldn't have said it better. Our thoughts are with you.

Christmas is always a hard one for me, because my mom died two days before Christmas back in '98. It's always tough, but she left us with enough good memories to get us by. You and your family are always in my prayers Marcos. Take care brother!

Thanks eric. I couldn't imagine losing someone around a major Holiday especially Christmas.

can't imagine something like that either, I've lost both grandparents around my birthday, haven't celebrated my birthday anymore since then, but it doesn't matter, you aren't obliged to celebrate if you don't feel like celebrating, just be with the ones you love, holidays can't get any better then that

hopefully you had a wonderful Christmas magicninja, my thoughts go out to you guys who have suffered such a tremendous loss, I hope you can still enjoy these holidays

Regards,
Roel

As a father, I can't imagine your loss. As a Christian I could pass along all the platitudes that are commonly said at a time like this. But I know those words ring somewhat hollow during such a devastating time. I can tell you that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't begin to comprehend what you must be going through even now. I am sorry for your loss.

So we're pregnant again. I'm a little scared I guess but I know I'll be alright. I've haven't been thinking as much as I usually do which is better for me. I need to rest my mind more often. Ugh pregnant woman in the house for 8 months. Sorry ladies but some of you know what I mean. I'll be vigilant though.

Be well, man. Life must go on.
