I don't think of him every day; I think of him every hour of every day.
~ Gregory Peck, in an interview many years after the death of his son
In the ordinary course of events, parents don't expect to out-live their own grown children. But when an adult child does precede parents in death, it shatters their assumptive world and brings them to their knees. It goes against what they perceive to be the natural order of things, and it feels very, very unfair.
Since words are simply and completely inadequate at such a sorrowful time, I can only hope the parents of Tyler Heintz will find some comfort in their friends and family.
