A continuation from the previous post; if you really want to cry your eyes out, read here on the Tennessean's home page some of the 166 comments left by folks who wanted some way to console the family of Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman, whose daughter, Maria Sue, 5, died Wednesday. One of her brothers accidentally ran over her when he was backing out of a driveway.

The funeral was yesterday and 700 people came.

Many of the posts on the newspaper's Web site are from people who've lost children themselves. They are heartrending. Then there's the letter from one of the local school bus drivers. "This cup is so bitter," he wrote.

From another comforter: "Do not think of your daughter as lost," it said. "She is not in your past but in your future."
