Tragedy makes Bucs kicker Bryant one of us
Hug your child. At a time like this, that’s really all you can do.
You can try to imagine Matt Bryant’s pain, but down deep, you realize it is unimaginable. Still, the thoughts of parents losing their 3-month-old son, as Matt and his wife Melissa did on Wednesday, will twist your insides and leave you numb.
You can try to think of the proper words to say, but really, words are powerless at a time like this. For the Bryants, for any parents losing a child, there is simply loss and pain and a hole that even time will not close.

You can light candles and you can say prayers. You can make donations and you can send flowers. You can shed tears and you can approximate perhaps an ounce of the tons of pain that the Bryants feel.
