38:02Now PlayingBruce Rognan lost his son. Chris Rognan lost his brother. In this interview, a Latter-day Saint father and son remember Curtis — who he was as a boy, what each of them saw and did not see, and the conversations the family never had. They describe a young man who did not fit the mold he had been handed, and a family that loved him without ever finding the words. They close with what they want other Latter-day Saint parents and Church leaders to understand — advice offered by people who would give anything to have needed it sooner.
