Eric Meyer's posts about his daughter's illness, and the family's lifelong process of grieving afterward, are heartbreaking. It's arresting, gripping writing. It's wonderful and awful. Hug your loved ones tight. https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/category/personal/rebecca...

Ouch. As a father, that was a gutpunch. Dark, haunting, dripping with grief and pain, but beautifully written and very haunting.

I can’t imagine anything worse than what that guy has been through.

I’m holding my sleeping baby as I write this and I just hugged him even tighter. Thanks for sharing.

As a father of two girls, I’m not clicking that link. I don’t think I could handle it.

I don’t blame you. I haven’t cried like that in a long time.
