Awaiting Aislinn

Thursday, August 09, 2007

It seems like every week the local newspapers is running a story about a child's death.Whether it is from a parent who has shaken a baby, a toddler, who fell into a pool and drowned or a child who has been accidentally run over by car, these deaths when I read about them make me ache, deep down. I accept death when it happens to a love one, a family member or a friend. I don't question, WHY, I know that death is a part of life, that you need to cherish the time you had together, celebrate the life and the memory of the person who you have lost. But when a innocent child loses their life to an accident, illness or stupidity I find it hard not to question God.
On Tuesday afternoon I received a phone call from a friend asking if I had been watching the news or had read the paper.I said no and she started to tell me about a mutual friend Chrissy and the death of her 5yr old son.. Truth be told I heard on the radio about the accident, didn't hear a name, just the basic detail, 5yr old run over in his driveway Sunday evening by the family mini van driven by his mother.Wednesday evening I went to the wake and as I stood in front of the tiny coffin, looking down on this sweet little angel, surrounded by his stuff animals and baby pictures, I found myself asking Why. Rest in Peace Jacob.
