PrintSo mom you have managed to carry your baby to full term- maybe, 9 months, went through the labor pains, i mean excruciating, long hours of pains, finally you are able to bring your baby to this world. Dad and mom both put all your love, energy, time, money.. you name it to raise a young, smart, beautiful , and responsible child. Then they start school, they manage to do so well throughout high school, then comes college… You somehow managed to save enough, despite the economy woes, and are able to send them to college.
Then you get that phone call, your worst nightmare, that your child is a murder victim. I mean, every time i read this stories, or watch the news.. my stomach hurts and i forget that i am not family. The latest one…Annie Le. So this young woman, someone’s daughter, granddaughter, niece, friend and fiance, Annie Le, was pursuing her doctorate in Pharmacology at YALE! My goodness Yale. Gets strangled, dies.. just like that! You are able to send your child to Yale, for a doctorate…I mean…<<<<<screaming>>>>
It angers me, aggravates me. I sit here reading about it, and can’t stop just to think about my own kids, my friends kids, and my nieces and nephews. You know , being parents we can’t possibly shield our children from all the craziness out there . It is even harder when they are grown , have become young adults, pursuing their wordly desires out there. I mean… we send our kids to school to get an education. We tell ourselves we are paving way for our children’s future, we are doing the right thing…Should we stop and doubt ourselves? Can all our children out there really stay safe enough to enjoy that future we and they have worked so hard for?
Are we ever prepared to get that phone call. Could we ever stomache the possibility of them not outliving us? Can any mother or father really prepare themselves to bury their own child?
I pray, and will pray for all mothers and fathers of the world. I pray for Annie Le’s family and friends, as no human being deserves to get their life taken away from them. No human being should have the right to just take away someone else’s life. So people have had hard times, like i always say everyone has a story. Whatever your situation, someone else out there has it worse than you , so think before you act.
Do the right thing and preserve life!
