I don't know if I would have the strength

You must watch this series of photographs. Be prepared, if you have a heart at all you will cry. Be sure to turn on the captions (on the bottom left) so that you can really understand what each picture is about. Painful, thought-provoking and moving.

So, I hate to sound like a dick, but I got all the way to the end, and I can't help but think the emotional impact was slightly lessened somehow when I noticed one of the pallbearers was wearing a camouflage jacket.

Thanks, Ben, I needed a laugh after the horror of watching that. You should have a disclaimer: "Pregnant women with 11yr old boys should not click here or you will be a total wreck." But thanks for sharing.

I'm pretty sure you'd find the strength - if you needed to.

Ben said...

Oh, and I'll see you that and raise you this-

Tell me you don't think of mom during it.

Ben - Maybe the kid liked camouflage? Did you ever think of that? Oh let's not kid ourselves. If you or I were to die today there's a 87% at least one person would come to our funeral wearing camo or a t shirt with the sleeves cut off.

sam - Sorry! I warned you that you would cry!

cathy - I guess I probably would if I needed to but I can't even wrap my hear around that.

Ben - I seem to have something in my eye. I hate you. Did you google "sad things" just to find something to make me cry?

Ben said...

Yeah well, it's times like these I am glad to have parents obsessed with staying fit.

Jen said...

ben - Agreed. The good news is that we come from a long line of people who drink, smoke, eat wrong and still live long lives. At the rate are parents are going they should live to be about 132.
