So, How Despicable Can Someone Be?

Let me tell you:

Apparently, an individual who shall remain nameless (but who has a sizable beef with my younger brother) approached him, and actually uttered the words "So, hows your dead [expletive removed] nephew?"

When I heard this, my first instinct was, sadly, violence. I was angry. Disgusted, even. How could someone invoke Aaron in such a disgusting, subhuman manner? Someone who never even KNEW me, my wife, and least of all never knew my son?

Now, after a few hours to meditate on it, I am simply embarrassed for this individual. That he is so base, and so blinded by hatred that he would utter such a horrible thing, much less at a grieving uncle. I can only hope this individual feels as embarrassed for himself as I feel for him.

those are comments of the ignorant that are to be ignored. You have taken the right approach this individual and their comment. I am sad that someone felt the need to share the comment with you at all.

Well, to be fair - I asked to hear what this person said. I shouldn't have. It would have been easier. But it was my choice to press the issue.

His words will haunt him. Anytime, down the road, when he suffers a tragedy and hears some stupid, hurtful comment...he will know why.
