A family from Texas is shedding light on how a recent tragedy has left them shattered forever.

Think along the lines of a young child passing away from injuries, just days after his own father died from the same cause.

The father-son duo is believed to have been struck by a giant lightning bolt and people are devastated after hearing the horrifying details of the incident.

The family explained how the lightning-striking incident took place a while back. But little did anyone know that it would take up the lives of both the father and the son. “We’re so heartbroken and devasted at what has ensued. We have no words. We are giving!”- the victim’s mom adds.

All in all, it just turned out to be so tragic for obvious reasons. The child had been fighting for his life, ever since his dad was killed.

Many felt that he would survive as he was younger but little did they know that the devastating effects would be just as strong on him as they were on his dad, taking away their lives in the blink of an eye.

Tragic reports spoke about how the father and his son were holding hands at that moment in time when the lightning bolt had struck each of them.

Little did anyone realize that the powerful strike would injure them both irreversible since they were holding hands. And that is what makes it all the more tragic.

A GoFundMe account has been set up in their honor to help raise funds for the funeral. But the family says that nothing can bring them back to life and it’s just so heartbreaking for them in Texas to see such things.

“They’ll be forever missed. They were our world!”- another message went on to read from a grieving loved one
