Someone I spent time with growing up playing dolls and zooming down a zip lune died this weekend. The loss of a young life is tragic, the way it happened a complete waste. I feel absolutely horrible for her parents because not 12 years ago they lost another child, same horrible way, long before his time, someone I graduated with, took college classes with, and again, grew up with.
Their parents were great parents, wonderful to be around, concerned for their children. It makes it so much scarier as a parent, because there is so much that I cannot control, no matter how much I want to set my children on the right paths.
I will keep trying, never give up what in this day and age has become a battle, and each night hold them a little closer, say a few more "I Love You's", give a tighter hug in the morning, and any extra kisses they want.
Children are on loan to us, their own individuals, precious of themselves. Appreciate every little thing possible!
