You know when you hear tragic news about a small child and it bums you out completely?  That’s me tonight. There was a tragic tragic accident in our community last night where a young 5 year old boy was killed.  By his own mother who was driving the family car.  What she must be going through right now.  I. can’t. even. imagine.

And after only 3 hours of sleep last night (due to a sick Miss B), I am done.  So I’m off to wallow in my own glumness and to think of that poor poor mother tonight.

Does news of tragedy in your community get you down? Has being a parent changed the way you react to bad news?
