Yet another tragic entry in the world of Texas today. A woman hanged herself and her 3 kids this weekend, but the 8 month old survived. These are the moments when I wish I was the angel of death so I could reverse the process. Can the angel of death undo it's work? I'm not sure, but if I was said angel, I'd be sure to backup so I could restore my work. I know... a tacky techie entry, but it's true. I would love to undo all the deaths involved to save the children, but also to see if I could talk with the angel of insanity to see if I could trade a few ounces of prevention for numerous pounds of cure and get the 23 year old mother some help.
I used to be more cynical, but I remember the amazement that my 8 month old daughter instilled in me and am now all soft and shit. *sorry to use an expletive, but it's a phrase I'm finding hard to shake from my vernacular*
I'm sure the neighbors who used to enjoy watching the children play on their porch are all wondering whether or not there was anything they could have done differently to lend a helping hand to the woman. They're going to feel a sick knot in their stomachs as a new family moves into the house and their children play on that porch. Will the neighbors tell them what happened? Will they welcome these new neighbors more eagerly than they welcomed the last? Or will they just look across the street, wave, and think somberly of what horrors took place and quietly bow their heads in distress?
