My best friend's son died last July and today is his birthday. [View all]

I wish I could take her pain away. I would do it in a minute, but all I can do is be here for her. She lives some distance from me but I am with her in spirit. I would be with her in person but it's complicated.

He was only 37 years old and I knew him all his life.
