Precious
That answer and the "how many have you had" remark seemed to be at back at you type response to a question asked by thousands of Jews.
What was the Rebbe's (of blessed memory) response to this question? He himself did not have children to come back with such an answer.

Who is Responding, and To Whom?
If you want a Jewish answer to the Nazi murder of 1.5 million Jewish children, then yes, this is our defiant response, giving birth to and raising many more precious Jewish children. Am Yisroel Chai, the people of Israel live. But if you're waiting for God's answer as to why innocent children had to die like that, then you wind up grappling with the eternal question of why God allows such evil to exist in this world. In the World of Truth everything is crystal clear, but down here during our mortal existence we don't comprehend why these things happen.

As close to perfect as an answer could possibly be.
Our only answer is to have more precious Jewish children dedicated to Torah and Mitzvos.

That's one of the best answers I've heard
But R we really looking for an answer? Since when logic became a soothing agent? What we're looking for is comfort and the knowledge that G-D is good, and that he was there with us and that he is here with us in difficult time. As G-d stated in the bible and as proven by our resilience throughout history, G-D is with us and will always be. our anger at him only proves few things: that exists that he is essentially good (otherwise why be surprised and angry) that we are essentially good and care
