How terrible. For whatever it's worth, I believe that God has special place in Heaven for the little ones.

Dear JK, I am so sorry for your friends' loss of their little boy. Those poor people. From NJ, many prayers that God will comfort you and the family. I'm sure that little angel is looking down on you and asking God to take care of all of you, too.

I once heard a priest give a sermon concerning the loss of a child. He stated "I am asked all the time why God takes little children if he is a caring God. Well, I have been a priest for almost 25 years and I still do not have a good answer. But what I do know is no one who gets to Heaven ever regrets it or ever wants to come back, fore they definately are in a better place."
I don't know if this will help, but I thought it was fitting.
My baby just turned 1 this month. Not having him in my life would be like ripping my heart out. Please let your friend know that every Parrotthead will be thinking of him and his family. May he find the strength to get through this horrible time.

I was at my neigbor Craig's house when he got the call that he died.
It was a friend of his also. Sadly we did not have any more indo at the time and it happened at his wifes bay shower.
My thoughts and prayers out to the family.

We all know deep down that sooner or later we will need to deal with the death of our parents - we don't like to think about that. When we bury a parent we bury the past.
We all know in a deeper darker place that we have a 50 / 50 chance of losing our partner - when we bury a partner we bury the present.
The deepest and darkest place is to loose a child - when we bury a child we bury the future, not only of that child, but the grand-children and great grand-children that will not come through that child.
- Mark Twain -
Been there jk - please tell your friends its a hard road, but they must travel it, and eventually the rocks will not hurt so much. Dwell on the good times - remember the fun bouncing on a bubble. Celebrate the life not mourn the death.
Love & Peace to your and your friends.

JK, I am praying for you and your best friend's family. I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. I can't imagine the pain involved, and I don't know what else to say. As a parent of two keets, my heart just aches.
I hope at least it may help a little knowing that so many people care here that have posted on this thread and that it may give some comfort.
