i feel sadness for this couple of course, as they lost a dear family member.

even so....i am most struck by your extraordinary kindness. anymore it seems like people can't be bothered to say "hello" or "excuse me" to a stranger....you went way beyond that for this couple, reaching out with comforting words in a time of tremendous grief. and then, you came here even later to honor their little guy. i am moved to tears by your actions.

i realize vets and their staff members deal with loss on a regular basis, but just like people docs, they need to keep in mind that what they see as one more in a long line of deaths is someone else's one-and-only. easier to say than do, i suppose. still, it sounds like the staff of the office you were in could learn a few things about compassion from you.
