I
was reading the recent stories from my favorite newspaper, The Oregonian, and
came across a terribly sad report (click here to read the story). A
physically-normal three-year-old girl choked on a meatball and died on Monday
while at daycare. Who would think?
The
fact that she was at daycare and not with her parents – so sad! These parents
will have to live without their little girl forever knowing they were not with
her in her final moments. These things happen all too often – a four-year-old
chokes on a popcorn kernel in a movie theater (or a bunch of people are
randomly gunned down in a theater). Families send their first and second graders to school, but they never make it home. You just never know when someone you love
is going to be taken.
Please
give your kids a hug and pray for this grieving family.
