Imagine that everyone of these moms imagines is partnered by a dad who has to be strong, and hide his feelings.

Imagine his wife thinking he doesn't care because he only cries when he's alone.

Imagine your feelings when someone asks you "wouldn't it be better if he were to die now, rather than get your hopes up, only to have them dashed?"

Imagine the guilt you feel as your child is progressing, while the mom who held your hand two days ago has just been told her son has brain damage and may not survive the week.

Just imagine if all this happened to YOU - it did, yet it seems like just a bad dream
