Re: What is the most tragic thing you\'ve ever had to deal with
My dad and grandpa(mom's side) died within several months of each other. I was really young(5 or so) but it still gets to me sometimes(I'm 18 now). Especially so because my dad had a heart attack while my mom was at work, 3rd shift. I went upstairs to go to bed...came back downstairs because I needed a pillow, and he was lying on the floor. I thought he was messing around, because he was like that...Tried to wake him up for God knows how long, until my mom called from work. I still remember telling her, "Dad's asleep...he won't wake up". I can't even imagine how she felt at that moment.
I always wonder what would have happened if I was one of those genetically engineered preschoolers that know how to use 911.
