Grief

I got a somber phone call from one of my best friends a few hours ago. This morning her two-year-old nephew -- who was in her wedding with me a few short months ago --  was rushing out the front door to give his mommy hugs and kisses as she left for work when he slipped and fell. He struck his head on the porch steps and died instantly.

When his mother called 911 and the police arrived to take a report, they discovered she had a warrant for an unpaid traffic ticket... so within moments of watching her youngest child die, she was placed under arrest.

Please be in prayer for my friend and her family as she drives to Tennessee to be with her brother and sister-in-law in this time of unthinkable sorrow.

Kyrie Eleison.

oh how awful. my prayers are with you, your friend, and her family. this makes me think i should never have a kid because i don't know what i'd do if this happened.

i can't believe those cops. i guess i should pray for them too, to soften their hearts so they don't act in such appalling, unbelievable cruelty in future.
