My point was that the fact that there are people dealing with hurt isn't NEWS. We've all been there, most of us have the manners to share the hurt with those we're close to, and depend on instead of getting an entire nation to cry with us.

As someone who has spent the last week (ok...I can admit this) crying almost every night because I'm torn up inside about whether or not we should put our oldest cat to sleep (She's such a sweetheart -- she purrs loudly when you come near her and always wants to be picked up and held. But she leaves a butt-stain everywhere she sits now-a-days.), I think you're being just a tad harsh. People like me can hurt for silly reasons, but having your son die in a motorcycle accident is far from silly and there is nothing wrong with being sentimental about his childhood. Geez, you are hard, man.
