Quote by Red Auerbach
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Summary
This quote illustrates the profound impact of losing a loved one, specifically the parent-child relationship. It suggests that when a child passes away, a father also loses all the hopes, dreams, and possibilities for their future. Similarly, when a parent dies, a child loses their connection to the past, the source of their identity and roots. It emphasizes the profound and deeply intertwined nature of the parent-child bond and the immense grief and loss experienced through the death of a family member.
