Tragedy

I know that it seems that I've all done lately is post links to others stuff. Well, that's exactly what I've done, now that you mention it.

This piece is far too powerful not to link for you.

How anyone could deliberately harm a baby is beyond me. It brings tears to my eyes even thinking about it. I think about my son, and the overwhelming, indescribable love that I have for him. How could somebody abuse that perfect, innocent trust that he has in this world? How? Why?

My child is the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me. He's truly a gift from God. My life would be so much poorer without him. He's taught me so much about my life. He's a reason for me to be a better man. He's everything that is good and right in this world. He's happiness and innocence, and a reminder of the time when the world was new, exciting, and wonderful. How can any parent not think that about their children?

This is absolute, pure evil.

I was going to protest the continued linking by not commenting, but I must agree that her story is too powerful to keep silent about. Though getting a guilty verdict for murder (or capital murder if the victim had been a little younger) can't bring the life back, it creates the sense of some justice on this earth. I'm sure that if one of these cases comes your way, you'll do everything in your power to make such so called "parents" (read as loosely as the term will allow) answer for what they've done.
