Some things should never happen.

I'm not a mother, don't want to be one, but one can't help it and share others' pain,though it'll never be the same. Ever.

This afternoon, one of my subordinates and friend suffered a terrible loss.  His nine-year old son was run over by a car.  It was a terrible, terrible accident.  The whole place is still in shock.  We can't believe this happened.

*sigh*

Que tu alma descanse en paz, querido Salomón,  Que el tiempo y el amor que hay en tu familia, les ayude a tus papás y a tu hermanito y hermanita menores, a encontrar la tranquilidad y la fuerza para seguir sus vidas sin ti y que el sosiego llegue al pensar en lo afortunados que fueron por compartir una parte de sus vidas contigo.

*hugs* I totally understand. I'm not a mother either, but I do understand how you empathize.

Oh my God, give him my deepest sympathy. I shouldn't think of something like that happening to Alby. *shudders*

This is the kind of thing that no parent should go through. It's a terrible thing.

I remember the love a child feels for a parent, and I've experienced the pain of losing a parent, but being childless myself, I can only imagine the love a parent feels for a child, or the terrible pain of losing a child.

My heart goes out to your friend and his family. I know all of you will be comforting him at work.

Losing a child is the most frightening possibility in my world.

Please pass on my sympathy.

That's just, horrific. I can't even imagine the pain he's feeling.
