I spent five hours with him once; another scared parent watching his son prepare to go to war. ... And then a line of text on my screen.

I have no fucking idea what this is even about.

Downvoted for making no sense at all.

Incredibly badly written. I couldn't tell if I was reading a work of fiction or an article. No context -- what are these cards? Who is his son and what is he doing?

tldr; huh?

I had to read it a second time. The first line really says it all:

I spent five hours with him once; another scared parent watching his son prepare to go to war.

The Father has sent his son off to war, and is scared that his son might die. He only got to spend five hours discussing his deployment, and now he misses his son.

It made perfect and brutal sense to me on the first reading.

Ah, the age of "TL;DR". Now we have a generation of idiots who can't pay the fuck attention through nine fucking paragraphs.

Title	I spent five hours with him once; another scared parent watching his son prepare to go to war. ... And then a line of text on my screen.
