About this Quote

This quote by Red Auerbach talks to the profound impact of the death of a parent or a child. To a dad, the death of a kid is a disastrous loss of the future. The daddy is robbed of the opportunity to see his child grow and experience life. To a kid, the death of a moms and dad is a loss of the past. The child is denied of the memories and experiences that they shared with their moms and dad. The death of a parent or a child is a tragedy that can never be completely understood or valued by those who have not experienced it. It is a loss that can never be replaced and can leave a lasting influence on those who are left.
