    That was beautiful. Heartbreaking, but beautiful.

    I am all choked up. That song normally brings tears to my eyes, but now I can't seem to stop crying. The picture of him kissing his son's feet...they are so TINY. Heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking.

    It was tough enough to read that from work; no way can I watch the video.

    My heart goes out to this man - simply cannot imagine such a loss.

    Ya bro. It's very sad but god damn the strength in this man. To lose his best friend/wife and son all within 3 days is unreal. To hear him say I have the rest of my life to mourn them is devastating.

    ditto, if I read stuff like that I'm upset the whole day and it also pops up in my thoughts on different days and I get depressed about stuff, I'm glad there is hope if you believe in God... :)

    That is just too devastating for words. Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking...
