Sigh....

I have had such a rough two days.... My 14 year old son lost one of his good friends to leukemia 2 days ago. They had played on the same baseball teams together and became friends.

This boy was the most amazing, sweet natured person. He was also the most gifted athlete I have ever known, and with boys who are into sports- I've known a lot. He was an only child, and absolutely adored and doted on by his Mom. I can't even begin to imagine the depth of her sadness. He began to get more tired than usual and started bruising a year and a half ago- that's when he was diagnosed. And now he is gone.

The funeral is tomorrow. I just wish I could take the pain away from everyone. I also worry about my son and his friends- dealing with the death of a friend at such a young age.

It really does put things into perspective. He was there for me and and my son when I was diagnosed 4 and a half years ago. I'm still here, but he is not....

Sad.... Frown

The loss of anyone is hard, but it always seems especially hard when the person is young. I am so sorry for you and your son's loss. You and your son will have many memories to share with his family. (((((HUGS)))))

I'm sorry.. it seems senseless to me to lose youngsters.

Oh no..how sad. I hate it when our babies are hurting. I can't imagine the pain the family is going through. My prayers are with them. And your son. It's hard to lose a friend at any age...let alone early teens.
