Barry, thank you for sharing your personal story, and tragedy, with us. It's often very hard to know what men are feeling because most are so good as masking emotions in situations such as the loss of a child, or when a child is going through a serious illness. Too often people don't know what to say so they say absolutely nothing and wait for the grieving parent to get in touch with them at the "right time" instead of offering comfort and support when the parent needs it the most. I really appreciate your insight into the male perspective and hope you will continue to share your thoughts with us. I hope you have many friends and family members join you this Father's Day to celebrate the life you had with your daughter and honor her memory.
Take care, Pat
