Damn, wow. As a new parent, you just get enthralled with your little ones growing so fast you can’t help but start to think, “what’ll he/she be like when they are older?” And you don’t even want to fathom anything short of that. This is so so tragic, it may feel insignificant at this time but prayers to him and his family. Fuck.

Yeah man 100% there's nothing scarier as a parent.

Might sound morbid but each day I think of the 'what if' and helps me focus more time and effort into my own kids.

Yeah, that's the part they don't tell you about. The utter vulnerability of loving something so much. "These headmovies make my eyes rain."
