[johnny on the spot]

About 3 months ago now. Had to phone my ex about changing a billing address, Heard her kid who I bought up calling out 'is that daddy' - ex said no to her. broke my heart.

Fucking hell, Mark, that's rough.

Two years ago when my grandson was hospitalised after being hit by a car. The first few hours had me on my knees.
Thank fuck the young driver(who'd just past his test) was driving at a sensible speed (20mph) for that environment.
Another 10mph may well have proved fatal.

When i hear things like grandson and hit by car, aw christ knocks me sick. So glad he's ok. Some aren't so lucky. The fragility of young life in this place can not be underestimated.

I should note Gaylord's story sucks also, i didn't read the thread just gave my reply to the question.

My grief sounds a bit shitty i guess to those who do not love dogs.

Last night when my son was in the ER and the doctors were examining his arm/elbow for a possible fracture and he was crying his eyes out. As a mother, you just feel so helpless and I wanted to take away all the pain he was feeling.

I found out via a mate of mine that a young lad that had just started working him had run a kid over and was so beside himself that he couldn't go to work. He said the boy was distraught.
He was dumbstruck when he realised he was talking about my grandson and was saying how apologetic the lad was.
I told him to tell the kid that in reality he'd probably saved a life due to his cautious approach to that environment and that he was in no way to blame.
It may well live with him as long if not longer than it lives with me.

It is of little comfort but you know this is what boy's do sometimes as much as it sucks, just be happy he learned a lesson and or was a lucky lad and nothing worse :-)
Do us a favour and sign his cast for me please if he needs one...

Your mum said stop moaning and no more ice cream, regards, bluemoon xD

When I had to have my darling dog Ceri put down a year or so ago. The strange thing was it was the making the decision and seeing her sick and having to decide to end her life that made me a mess. When it happened I was calm and actually thinking far more about what a cool dog she had been and how she was now out of pain. Coming to the decision though and the last week or two was awful.

I bawled my eyes out when my daughter was in the hospital and in the ICU for a week with acute appendicitis, I was tag teaming with my wife - alternative nights sleeping on the chair by the bed and she was 33 weeks pregnant (with a complication that came to nothing) I went two nights without sleep once because of the op and once on the 2nd night when I was on duty. The third night when I went home after holding it all together for 48 hours I had a huge cry being comforted by the dogs. It helped me sleep it and it cleared my head brilliantly.

You can't fake it but when you can actually cry i reckon it is very good got you mentally!

He'll drive slow for the rest of his life surely.
Not the same by any stretch but when I was 18 I came home with my sister and her couple of months old daughter, in my van. I had seats in the back with a sliding door. I pulled up, got out and opened the door for them to get out. I slammed the sliding door shut too soon, not thinking, I missed my baby niece's hand by a fraction. The weight of the door would have took her hand off no question. I had nightmares for ages and she/I was incredibly lucky. It only takes a momentary lapse, it's so scary.

I lost a cousin to a car accident, it's a horrible way to suffer any harm, fatal or otherwise.
