Captain Lee quicklyreplied, “I’m sending her a video tomorrow.
It’s the least I can do.”
“I’ve never been in this situation before,” said theBelow Deckstar.
“I feel so badly for you.
I can’t tell you how terribly sorry I am that you had this extremely bad turn of luck.
My son passed away this year.
Because the future isn’t promised to anyone.”
Captain Lee was emotional throughout the entire video.
“How do I cheer you up kiddo?”
“I wish there was something I could do, something I could say.
Because it’s not fair, is it?
I’m not sure I would have your strength and your courage.
So very admirable of you.”
What happened to Captain Lee’s son?
Captain Lee andhis wife, Mary Anne, had thought Josh was finally recovering when their son relapsed.
“He’d been doing well,” Captain Lee said.
“We thought this time was the time we turned the corner.”
“I felt relieved.
I thought he was fine.
Then I went over to give him a hug, and he was cold.
He’d gone.”
Captain Lee admitted that he has been struggling in the aftermath of losing his son.
“I hate going to sleep, and I hate waking up,” he said.
As parents, you’re not designed to bury your children."
