Tim just called me and told me our friend's son passed away sometime last night or this morning. He was 11 and had severe disabilities because of cerebral palsy and complications at birth. We don't really know more details but our friend is understandably devastated. We just saw him at Sophia's birthday party and he looked good.
Please keep our friend and his whole family in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come.
That's heartbreaking. I can't imagine losing a child I was close to, much less my own fantom child. Many prayers for the family, but also for you and Tim because I know this must be hard on y'all as well.
