To any of you who have children I would recommend you hug them and love them as soon as you next see them. All of the late nights, diapers, teething and all of the things you may think are a little difficult at the time become memories that you cherish and would give your life to experience once again.

I just don't know what to say. I'm but a grain of sand on this immense beach of human suffering.

Thank you all for your beautiful sentiments. I have been part of other forums but this one is truly special and I thank you all from my heart.

We knew that Cosimo Jr would have an uphill climb in life and I can say he truly lived.He touched so many, over 200 people attended the services of a 22 month old!

The one solace my wife and I have is he lived and loved every day to the fullest. Not a single regret for things we should have done.

Can anyone say their life is like that? and since July 3 at 7:30 am eastern, that is how my life has been.
So as an addendum to "what has touched you the most", I would add what have you learned from it?

JJ, special thanks to you for I know you can empathize. I remember reading posts about Ronan prior to July 3 and thinking I should PM you. Well, You and your grandson were and are in my family's prayers, The greatest human emotion is empathy, in my opinion, and though I dont know you or Ronin's plight, I empathize with you and wish you the best.

Thank you all very much

This touched me deeply. We lost our nephew 6 weeks after he was born and I'll never forget the anguish in my brother in laws face.
I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

I stumbled for something intelligent to say and blurted out "how are you, sir?" He looked at me and smiled, then said "I'm blessed."
I'll never forget it.

You are more than welcome, Cosimo. You may not have posted much, but you were brave and strong to post what you did.

You have earned the utmost respect of my fellow members and myself at this stage. Please carry on posting and never hesitate to ask us anything you like......we will always be there for you.

God speed - JJ

Being the father of 6 I could imagine the pain you went through. My cousin lost her 18 month old twin boys because their babysitter left her purse out with her allergy medicines in it and they ate them thinking it was candy. Our hearts goes out to you Cosimo.

I'm thankful that I have not had to suffer the loss of any of my family (yet, but it's inevitable), so I cannot imagine losing one of my two young children.

Cosimo, my heart goes out to you.

Cosimo your story has touched us all deeply. My heart aches for you. Peace to you Brother.

I am so sorry for your loss. In 1991 I too lost my son of 20 years of age. i do know how you feel and can only say that it is something that will always be with us but it does somehow get a little easier with time and faith.
we have not met but if you want someone to talk with i will be glad to oblige

God Bless

I'm so sorry for your loss, both of you. I wish I had the words, but I don't. Thank you for being here.

Good heavens. Your story made me cry. May God grant you the strength and peace to get through this time.

One touching moment(which happens often in my house) - having my nine year old spontaneously snuggle up to me, gaze into my eyes with that intense look children get, and say "I love you mommy!". Another moment - as I was driving up to CT with the children, my husband called to say hi. He asked me to be extra careful driving as "his whole life was in that car". I know - nothing terribly exciting, but I am a sentimental sap.

Another - seeing my dad facing what life has to offer with strength, cheerfulness, and dignity despite a wheelchair, oxygen tanks, and the inability to walk more than 2 steps without running out of breath.

Finally, all of these moving posts have touched me deeply.

Oh Jim, that's horrible! Reminds me how careful we have to be ALWAYS with little children! Thank you!
