Methusaleh22 Intervention Needed

So sorry you've endured that pain. I think about this from time to time. What

are the odds I get through this life, living to my life expectancy without burying a child or grandchild? Gotta be about a coin flip right?

This earthly life is not easy. But I hope mine avoids that heartache. I'm not sure how people endure such tragedy.

God bless you and your family.
