I am very upset this morning to the point of crying although my tears quickly turned to anger. I am so tired of hearing about, reading about, and seeing parents that don’t care about their children! I was looking at the news today and one of the top stories was an Ohio couple left their 2 year old in the car for 9 hours, resulting in the little girl passing from a heat stroke! I can not begin to tell you how much this upsets me, I can’t believe that these things actually happen. I don’t understand why people that don’t want or don’t care about their children continue to have children. I can’t stand to see people take their children for granted I just want to scream at them that they have no idea how lucky they are! I just can’t wrap my head around why things are the way they are. There are people that would give anything to have children, people who are loving and would give those children the world. I know for a fact that Brook and Jake would give anything to have even 5 minutes with Sydney and Carynne, but instead of getting to be the wonderful parents I know they are they have the mourn the loss of their beautiful daughters.
Now, I’m not trying to get on my soap box and say that I never get angry or irritated with my child but it’s the people who neglect their children that upset me. I feel for the children who don’t yet know what real love is and I worry about their future as adults, will they be able to function normally in society? I look at my son and I can’t understand why all parents don’t love their children the way they should, what happened along the way to cause them to lose the attachment? NOTHING, I mean NOTHING is more important than your child, you must care for them, you must love them, you brought them into this world….I just don’t understand why these awful parents don’t get that.
I apologize that I’m so angry this morning, but I read the news story and something just snapped me into this angry state. My heart breaks on a daily basis for Brook and Jake, for the pain they continuously endure. And my heart breaks for myself, the part that is left empty because of the girlies being gone. Losing them has changed me for forever, it gives me a totally new perspective on things. I soak in every single minute I have with my son and the girlies have taught me to love like I have never loved before.
I know how you feel. I was in Babies R Us this past weekend and I wanted to scream at these people " Do you have any iota of a CLUE how lucky you are??"
I know just how you feel. I've had to stop reading the news because it seems like there is a sad or horrifying story involving a child every day, and it just makes me nauseous and angry.
