No Daddy!

I can't begin to imagine how the father of former Immaculate Conception High Head girl, Pia Phillips, must feel. In a time when most parents want to preserve the lives of their children, he accidentally shot his... on her 18th birthday!! She died shortly thereafter.

The man must be beating himself. And wanting to die too. Can you imagine? For the rest of his life, he has to live with the knowledge: He killed his daughter...

Oh the irony...
Oh the tragedy...

oh my god... i'm speechless...

ruthibel said...

It really is sad Will. The man must be devastated.

ruthibel said...

And I wonder how his wife is dealing with it? I mean, it was an accident, but... her baby is gone, and it's her daddy's fault... That must be heart-breaking. And her emotions... oh gosh!

clnmike said...

No father should have to live with that, a tragedy.

My prayers for the family.

Will said...

i can't imagine how a family would ever recover from something like that... i'm reminded of your post from a few weeks ago - the letter to your father... that's just one example of the way fathers love their daughter - and the kind of love - it's a protective love...

to be the cause of your daughter's death must be the ultimate feeling of betrayal - not only of your child, but of yourself...

Wuthering said...

it's mistakes like that I hope I never ever ever make.

I can't even imagine how this man must feel and his family. He's no doubt dealing with shame, regret, sorrow, the list goes on.

Abeni said...

This is what you can call living hell.I don't know how you get through something like that

Angel said...

oh god...how do you live through this as a parent? or as a wife to the man tht did it?

wow

ruthibel said...

I know. I felt so badly for him... it's just incredibly unbelievably painful.

Annie Paul said...

as if all of that weren't bad enough it happened on her 18th birthday--that's what you call evil karma...

This particular tragedy has been especially difficult to deal with. The sobering truth is that when weapons are kept in the house, they are most likely to be used against a member of that household, and often accidentally. If we learn nothing else from this horrible episode, I hope that we start rethinking this notion that somehow we are better off if we arm ourselves. In the heat of the moment, we are simply not as capable of defending ourselves using a weapon that requires calm, skill and concentration, as we like to think we would be. And in that moment, there's nothing to defend us against ourselves.

ruthibel said...

@Annie, it's just horrible.

@Long, how true. But, I'm wondering, is it really an issue of actually having the weapons in your house at all, or is it more a matter of being very careful with the weapons once you have them...??

Anonymous said...

I think that having weapons in the house opens up the possibility of them being mishandled. For me, foreclosing that possibility means that no guns are around. For people who feel they *need* to have guns around, they do need to take the necessary precautions. I haven't seen or heard much discussion about how to handle weapons, even with this tragedy.

Right now, its like every person for themselves: some hope that nothing happens but don't do much to prevent it; some just think that if they keep it secret and they are the only ones who can fire a weapon, that they are in charge.

I prefer not to be around the weapons, so that means that people cannot bring them into my house or my space. I was at Christophers back in the summer, and I found myself pressed up against a guy in the crowd; he put out his hand to hold me away from him at the same time that I put my arm around him to get my balance. In doing so, I accidentally touched his gun in the small of his back. Minutes later, I left, because I felt more vulnerable than ever.

I really don't like being around men and guns because that's their first line of defense when anything troubles their masculinity. And when they have guns, they seem to act a lot more cocky and sure of themselves, as if daring anybody to trouble them. In any conflict, that kind of thing only makes the other one more pissed off. A recipe for disaster.

ruthibel said...

Excellent point, Long. Excllent point.
