    Ugh. I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm really sorry for your loss, Sly.

    Sorry for your loss Sly.

    If you ever feel up to it, I would love to know more about Corbin.

    I want to send my heartfelt condolences to your family in light of this loss Sly.....given what I've just faced, it makes me really sad when a child loses the battle.

    I am so sorry @SlyPokerDog for your loss. I didn't even know you were a grandfather. My thoughts are with you and your family during this hard time. RIP Corbin.

    Sorry man, I don’t know his age but obviously way too short of a life.
    Condolences to you and your family.

    It is not the natural order of things for our children to pass before we do. Our jobs are to educate them so they can replace us as stewards of the Earth.
    NO child should die before their parent. No child. I don't know what I'd do. I'm not sure how I'd go on.

    I am SO sorry for your loss John. It's a tragedy of the hugest proportions and I wouldn't wish that type of sadness on my worst enemy.

    Sending positive energy to you and yours to somehow get through this. I don't think I could.

    This.

    Do you have any pictures or stories? How old was he?

    Everyone grieves in their own way, but it may be helpful for you to talk about how much of a light he was in your life.

    My boy is my greatest achievement.

    Give me an hour to talk about him and I'll fill it with 2 hours of his one liners and anecdotes.

    I like you Sly. Being dragged here by a German Bulls fan with a squirrel avatar was worth it just to meet you.

    With all that you and Mrs. Sly have done for the furry friends of our world, I'd like to think God has had Corbin playing in a sea of puppies for these past five years......and he's just keeping them entertained until you get there. I can't think of a better reward.

    Sorry to hear man. I think it does get easier, and I hope it has. You just never forget.

    It is nice to remember, even if the memories can be saddening.
