If you don’t know, you don’t know - and didn’t you post once that you were a grandfather - how in the hell could you be a grandfather if you didn’t have atleast one kid?
So, if you have never had kids - then you have no idea what you were saying about how parents would feel in that other thread to the death of their children, and you really should not make assumptions like you do. If that post was a ‘metaphor’ and this post is ‘genuine’ - then as I started to say -
Its one of those feelings you can;'t know until you know it.
Go get a puppy - its alot like that.
