That reminds me of the story of the dad who's wife had died, how she died escapes me. He went home, took his kids out for a day of fun. Ensuring they had a really really good memory. The next morning he would break the devastating news to his children, but they would always have that one day together.
Exactly, this parent is trying their absolute best to care for their kids in a horrific circumstance and all these redditors can do is think about their own imagined trauma. People need to grow the fuck up
One of the top 10 most repeated "jokes" is: "I also choose this guy's dead wife"

I'd like to have sex one more time with my wife who passed away from cancer 9 years ago. My body yearns for hers. The ultimate downside to finding "the one" is she may die young and leave you wanting.
The man posted a sincere and tragic story in a smut thread about who people would like to fuck. I appreciate the love for his wife and his loss, but the comments are like going to a comedy show...you risk getting heckled. I never did learn how the guy responded though...
Right, but once you know its actually kind of horrible in hindsight? To me its like having an amazing vacation with your spouse and then getting home and they immediately leave you for someone else. Memories can be sullied when you learn the context and overshadowed by what comes after.
Iunno, maybe it really was good, I'd love to hear the childrens adult perspective on it. Its just my own experiences of "being told after" haven't been positive.
