Accidents

Horrible accidents happen everyday. Usually, we are separated from tragedy by nothing more than a little luck. A bit of chance. A moment of clarity.

Unfortunately, those barriers break down and some awful, gut wrenching things can happen.

A friend of a friend lost their little girl after she was left in the car for a period of time last weekend. Before you say, "That would never happen to me," go read this article. It won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. It changed the way I think about these accidents. Read it. Seriously. But get some tissues first. It's hard, but read it. Every parent should.

Once you've hugged your children, and thanked your God for the moments you have with your family, take the time to see the family's donation page.

This family is paying to bury their two year old. Surely the $5 or $10 or $50 will help them more by having it than it will hurt you by giving it.
