In a heartbreaking tragedy, a lightning bolt has claimed the lives of a father and his six-year-old son in Texas. Grayson Boggs, a young boy of just six, was being picked up from his school bus by his father, Matthew, aged 34, on May 15 when a devastating lightning strike hit them, taking Matthew’s life instantly.
Paramedics rushed Grayson to the hospital, where he remained in critical condition, battling brain damage for over a month before he succumbed to his injuries on June 16.
The grief-stricken grandmother, Angela Boggs, revealed the poignant moment when father and son shared their love just moments before the tragic lightning strike. “(Matthew had just got done telling Grayson that he loved him, he said ‘I love you buddy,’ that’s when the lightning came down,” Angela recounted, speaking to KWTX. She added, “I always took care of him, because he is the one God gave to me. Now my duty is to take care of my grandbabies.”
