No one should ever have to deal with that. My heart is breaking for that sweet family and precious boy.
Oh how awful.

I remember how I felt when the doctors at the hospital where my mother was a patient in the ICU suggested that my father should have her transferred to the palliative care unit. And she led a good, full life.

It hurt hard when I had to bury my mother. Nobody should have to bury a child.
