I've not said anything about, but our youngest, Christina, was diagnosed with leukemia November 7th.
She died this morning at 6.20
She would been 38 in April
She leaves behind two sons, 3.5 and 7

Her favorite expression was 'top top' no matter what was chucked at her.

My current mash is going to be called Tiptop bourbon in her honor.
My fekking eyes are bleeding! Installed BS Filters - better! :D

I cannot, for one second, understand the pain you must feel Eric.
You have my deepest condolences, and my very best wishes, in hope that your family can get through this with each other to lean on.

Those boys will really need their grandaddy right now.

Very sorry for your loss Eric.
Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.

So sorry to hear Eric. My brother lost his son at 26. I consider him one of the strongest people I know to persevere through this.
Most will never feel the pain of this.
Again I say. You are a special kind of soldier now to endure what life has handed you.
My condolences, and all the best to you and yours.
No words will ever explain the loss of a loved one.
Take care
I drink so much now,on the back of my license it's a list of organs I need.

Sorry for your loss. Never realized how scary it would be to be a parent. Mine are 29 and 25 and I still worry about them all the time. Take care of yourself and your family.

Sorry to hear about your loss, nothing worse than losing a child or grandchild. We are not meant to outlive our children. Our granddaughter years ago when just a baby was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and spent several trips to the hospital. Different stages but she had it almost to the stage it was untreatable. We were lucky and she made it through and eventually recovered and is now normal size. She still goes in for annual check ups.
