They Say

They say when you have lost a child that your are drawn to others.  Yesterday I was at the store.  When getting ready to check out, this guy and I started talking.  It started with Motocycles to a picture of his son who is a muscle builder.  And he had built a motorcycle, so as we are checking out each in a different aisle, I listened about his son and he was finished before me so he said he would wait for me.  We stood and talked and he showed me pictures.  As we continued toward the door his facial feature began to change.  Then he began to share with me of the death of their unborn daughter.  He began to become more upset and I really thought he was going to breakdown.  As hard as it is to go backwards and relieve sometimes someone just needs us to listen.
