What kills me...we were playing on the floor about 45 minutes prior to this, and we were both doing our normal song and dance this morning...like nothing was wrong.

I don't know who's taking it harder...my wife or my kids. My son has been sitting on the porch since we got back tonight, in tears. We've all been crying...

It's like losing a child.
