I'm going to need more rope.

About ten years ago, while I was deployed to California on a training mission, my wife took our kids (a daughter and a son) swimming. While out and about with a bunch of Navy SEALs, I came down with some sort of bacterial infection in my stomach, that somehow opened up a blood vein in my stomach. I was slowly bleeding to death, and didn't even know it. I went to bed, figuring if I still felt sick in the morning, I would go to the ER. About midnight or so, someone came to wake me up because the training officer had something important to tell me. I collapsed from blood loss halfway down the stairs, and two big Frogs (a nickname for SEALs, short for Frogmen) picked me up and carried me to sickbay. They rushed me to the ER, where the doctors stopped the bleeding and put EIGHT pints of blood into me.

The next day, when I woke up and asked what was the thing the TO wanted to tell me, I was told that my son Alex had been involved in a swimming accident, and was in a coma. I flew back to Hawaii, and three days later gave the hospital permission to withdraw life support as the EEG showed no brain activity.

The doctors in California said I would have bled to death in my sleep if they hadn't come to tell me...

Ten years later, it still hurts. But our little family is still together, still moving forward together.

"Wait, does he really think that?"

[arguskos]

My first time was right, sir.

Ah, but that time doesn't count.

Why, you ask? For reasons undisclosed.

[TehSheen]

Life is a huge, funny joke.

[Lord-Elfington]

Boring boring boring, Kids, CrAzY, AHH!

[truemane]

I'm shocked no one has mentioned this yet, but this is a verifiable phenomenon. I didn't know there was a Life magazine article, but Smith Magazine is the source of its current incarnation.

Smith Magazine

They've even published a book-length collection of them.

Anyway, mine.

"Never enough time to finish my..."

"Still can not grow a mustache"

Its my biggest regret.

[Quincunx]

"I outthink self-anointed geniuses" isn't symmetric.

Too much is just barely enough.

Your links appear broken. If they are there, I swear I didn't know anything about it.

Odd links bring me only confusion

[Ninja Chocobo]

Oh hell I screwed that up.

Jesus! What was all that about?

Words can't even describe my feelings.

That just absolutely sucks so much.

Indeed it does. But life goes ever on.

I sort of knew where Rich was going in this strip long before he got there. I remember hoping that Roy's little brother wouldn't be named Alex. I would have ended up crying...

I don't think I ever commented on that strip when it came out. Too painful.
