There was a snapshot on the news of one of the funerals for the six kids and teacher who drowned in the NZ tragedy earlier this week. In this one, Floyd Fernandas, 16, is given his eulogy by his father -

"I will miss you nudging me in the stomach telling me I have grown fat. I will miss your talks and laughter and the music played in the house. I will miss you calling me chicken. I will miss you.

I have lost a companion and a friend."

It's sometimes the simplest things that people say that can cause that lump in your throat.
