This is a really sad story, I can't even imagine that kind of grief..
I am a man who believes in God and in an after life .. The only thing I can think of that would comfort me a little if I am in his position, is to think that my girl is now sitting up in heaven in such happiness and peace that cannot be even imagined on earth.. I will be praying for his wife to recover .. |

I read the article and your subsequent comments, and truly feel sorry for all of the parties involved. The parents for the loss of their precious child, and that poor man who will be haunted by this tragedy till his dying days.
I know only too well the grief the parents are going through, and how this will remain with them forever...as mine still haunts me 20 years after the fact.
My prayers go out to these poor folks... they will very much need your support during this very difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your friend and his family. I hope that the little one didn't have to suffer, my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your friend's family tonight.
I would be devastated if I lost my boys, the thought of it.....I don't even want to think it.

Just a follow-up:
The driver of the car that caused the accident was in fact a diabetic and had dangerously low blood sugar levels.
He basically had no clue what was happening.
Jim's wife has already been released from the hospital, and suffered a fractured jaw and facial bruises.
Now the hardest part comes - finding a way to truly forgive the elderly gentleman. It will be the only right thing to do.

Thanks to all for the emotional support shown here.

| OMG. that is sooo hard to hear. my daughter is diabetic and has been since she was three. i'm so afraid of what may happen when shes older. on one hand i want her to be able to be like everyone else. drive and have freedom and a life and live on her own(but im too worried about , lows, coma, death, seizures then too). I sleep with her now because of that. i havent slept in bed with my husband in years because if my daughter died when i could have been right next to her to save her I'd never forgive myself. shes been in the twenties before too. its inevitable sometimes. even when you do all the right things it happens. the slightest changes. excitment, fear. anger, the food youve eaten not metabolizing like youd expect it to. anything can drop the blood sugar unexpectedly. shes gotten so low at night to where she woke me up by pawing at my hair. she couldnt speak she was just sweating and shaking but she found the strength to grab at me. I hate that she probably wont be allowed to hold a job where driving is required but things like this make me realize as sad as it is that i cant tell her "yes honey you can be ANYTHING you want to be" there may be a good reason for it. I was so angry at that man when i read this yesterday now I feel so much compassion for his situation. its amazing how things can change so quickly. but &%*^ i HATE diabetes!!! |

Tremendously rough. It's a difficult situation. Hopefully they can find a way to work through things...
They will need to work at it very purposefully. It is indeed one of the most trying situations to move past.
My cousin lost his first child and 5 years later, his marriage collapsed as a result. The marriage simply never recovered.
There were other children in that family.
I have a number of Filipino friends who have grown up in or have families like this... Might be an avenue for later if they want some support groups who have been through similar things... Most of my pinoy friends actually fall into this category.
From the other side, we have a friend of our family back in Canada that had exactly this situation happen to him. His doctor made a mistake and gave him two contraindicated medications... He passed out at the wheel and killed a bride at her wedding... He's never moved past it...
Tragedy is a wicked thing.
Best wishes for all involved.

| God Almighty. I just brought my daughter home from school with strep. I think I'll take this rest of the day off and just hang with her. My heart goes out to all involved in this. |

| Oh, man. My heart just breaks for him. Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare, and here he is possibly losing his wife as well. |

| How fragile life is, and how easily we take it for granted. My thoughts are with your friend and his family Brad. I couldn't even begin to fathom what they must be going through right now. And also for the driver of the car, I'm sure he's having difficulties dealing with what has happened. I'd have a very hard time forgiving myself even if it was an accident and beyond my control. |

| This is so horrible. Its a shame that a maniac such as this can choose to take the life of an innocent child and change the lives of so many in one instance of rage. I hope he gets the full punishment that can be given in this case. Bold face murder IMO. My thoughts and prayers goes out for this family. Please keep us posted on the mother's condition. So sorry. |

neenee - f you read all the posts here from Brad, you'll notice the man is not a maniac. He was a diabetic who had am edical crisis - sadly it came with deadly results for an innocent little girl.

Thanks Shutterpug, missed that. Well that relieves my mind. I am glad it was not an intentional act.
