This is neither the time nor the place to be curious about such things, and certainly not to press the issue. If you have no condolences to be offered, kindly get the [m'kay] out. It shows what kind of person you are that this is the first thing to come out of your mouth.
Dad, I know that there's no way I can understand what you're going through. I might have lost my mother when I was younger, and that may allow me to understand a slight bit, but I know that the gap between losing a mother and losing a child is insurmountable. I can only hope that your family has the strength to make it through the coming days, and that your heart may have a chance to heal someday. I am currently looking to get a job, and I have decided to devote my first three months of paychecks to the charity mentioned in the original post. Good luck to you and your family.
