And yeah, our whole world fell apart.

I mean, your body just goes into fight or flight mode.

So I feel like I've just been truly taking it minute by minute, hour by hour, and slowly kind of increasing from there.

But I mean, the only thing that was going through my mind was just that I wanted him to be okay.

That I wanted my old life back.

That I wanted him to have his life back.

I mean, it's what he deserves.

And it's just, you can't even describe that feeling of when your child passes away from a preventable accident, a preventable tragedy, all that's going through your mind is, where did I go wrong?

Where did we go wrong?

How did this happen?

Why did this happen?

Hindsight is playing in your head 24-7.

And, yeah, I mean, it's terrible.

We had to make so many big decisions in a very short amount of time that no family should ever have to make.

And I know that other people will relate to that.

And it's

It feels impossible.

You're truly going second by second because at any moment something could change or you could be given different news or, you know, so it's just truly just minute by minute.

I mean, just the heartbreak, the miss, the love that you have for that person, nobody can... Even if you have the most empathy in the world, nobody will ever be able to feel, even if they've been in a similar situation.

Those are the people who can relate the most, but there is no way to describe to someone what it's like losing a child and what that pain is like.
