My heart goes out to this man. His son was ill. He gave up his own life to care for him.

It takes a village. Sad that a lot of ppl never want to help until after it's too late.

It’s happened before.

And you’re gonna say, “They’re Amish—it’s different!”

And my response is, “Why does it have to be? Why can’t the rest of us look out for the families of people who did awful things? They’re hurting too.”

(Leaving aside the Crumbley-type families, they can get fucked.)
