It's hard for any of us to say what we'd do because the situation is so horrible, we may say one thing and if we ever go through a similar situation, handle it completely differently than we'd thought.

However, I am mean. So I think I'd go. Why? So he could see me, see me in pain and hurt, and I could tell him exactly what his stupidity did. I would want him to feel the absolute worst he possibly could... after losing Amylynn, you and Lee are feeling awfully darn low, so it's only fair. Seeing Lee won't bring it home - seeing YOU would.

I'm all for the "an eye-for-an-eye" mentality. If something this horrible happened to me, I would want whoever was responsible to be as unhappy as possible. I would feel that by NOT going to see him, he would be getting off too easy because it wouldn't feel real. Bad example, but like when a loved one passes away. The viewing/funeral is for those of us left here on earth. It provides closure. My one grandmother whom I wasn't close to died in 1999. We had no viewing or funeral for her, so I didn't see her, so to me it's not like she's really gone. Does that make sense?

I would completely understand if you couldn't bring yourself to go, I'm just telling you that if it were me, I'd do everything in my power to make him feel as horrible as possible and I don't think that can happen without seeing you there, without hearing from you what his stupidity did. Without hearing Amylynn's name.

Whatever you decide, we're here 100% for you.
