Unhappy CF Member has Suffered Great Loss

I'm very surprised there hasn't been any mention here of one of our member's awful tragedy. Smackdaddy is in need of our support.

Smack of The Month : BFSshop.com, is the official home of BFS Gear for Big Freakin Sails!


I hope we can all help keep you afloat while you're dealing with such deep grief.

I can't get my mind around why this happens. You're in my thoughts.

I join the others in trying to find words for this kind of loss. May you find some peace and many blessings as you go forward as parent alone.

Re: CF Member has Suffered Great Loss

Having got that t-shirt myself, would think that I'd know what to say to others.

But I don't have words of comfort - I don't think there are any. It feels like sh#t because it is.

Nonetheless my thoughts are with you and yours.
