This consumes my thoughts after having lost my nine year old son. He drowned as his grandmother and aunt gossiped and left him and his younger siblings unattended. They had been warned the ice on the frozen pond they were playing on was too thin.
Every day of my life I blame myself for not being there to rescue him, and I know in his last moments of life he had to have called for me. But I wasn't there.
Some, perhaps out of discomfort, come up with some 'cute' answers. I assure you, your insensitivity only deepens my heart and trivializes his death. Please think of this before you write.
To those of you that seek answers with heartfelt caring, I thank you. It shows me there are those out there who have human hearts and care.
But I ask myself this question again and again. How much did my little boy suffer, and why couldn't it have been me and not him.
My son, I've missed you every day and will continue to do so until we are together again. I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me most. My heart shattered that day, and will never fully heal.
Jesus, please keep him in your care, and don't deny those that love him from seeing and loving him again in heaven.
A grieving Dad
Your Dad.

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”
May your son rest in peace. I'm truly sorry for your loss
