As a father of a young child, this tore at me. What an awful experience that I cannot fathom. My wife and I had a couple of miscarriages, which is heart-wrenching, but to lose a child that far along. I cannot imagine going on.

Didn’t know he lost his dad at 11 poor guy. How you can ever get over that and the loss of a child I’ll never know.

This was tough to read but beautifully written. Manning’s honesty and openness will undoubtedly help others going through similar heartbreak. Wishing him and his family peace and strength
