We struggle to conceive them
We bring them into this imperfect world
We nurture and protect them to their youth
We support their interests through puberty
We encourage them to bond with fellow beings
We guide them into choosing a career
We keep regular contact with them till adolescence
Then, without reason, tragedy strikes!

We fail to communicate through anxiety
We never hear their frantic cries for help
We do not recognize the warning signs
We ignore direct contact in their grief
We do not console them at the loss of lovers
We are unaware that they suffer in silence
Then, we lose them to tragic death!
