I am not a parent yet, (12 days to go. thank you, thank you)

But I can't imagine anything more horrific or chilling than a phone call to inform a parent that their child has been killed, and for no reason.
You have to wonder? Why? Why me??

In a blink of an eye, just like that, you can erase the last 18-20 years, gone, forever.
"Please come identify and collect your child's corpse."

My heart goes out to the parents. God bless them all.
I can't even fathom the pain.
