What is this world coming to...
When a 15 year-old girl is hit by a "storm" of gunfire while innocently answering a knock at the door of her own home!!! Monday night a student at our Middle College High School was shot to death by gunfire. Apparently her oldest brother, who is suspected to be the actual target, may have gang affiliation. Their house has been "attacked" in the past, but no one was ever hurt... until now.
From the stories we hear she was a good student with a promising future. It was sad seeing all the footage of her mom grieving over her unbearing loss. I can only imagine what that must feel like!!
Every night as I watch my babies sleep, I pray to God that they stay safe and healthy. Then I pray that Brahma and I be blessed with the skills and strength to do what we can to raise our children well in order to "fight" off negative influences.
Then I read that a little girl was found dead after hanging herself in her bedroom!! According to the article the dad admitted (before talking to his lawyer) to having raped her in the shower after threatening to cut her hair if she didn't listen to him!! It just angers me that there are parents in this society who think of doing such things to innocent people!
I hug my boys everyday. I tell them I love you. I make sure they are fed and clean. I do my best to keep them from harm. I give them a "good job" when they catch a ball or start crawling, or say a new word. I miss my sons when I am at work. I enjoy watching them smile and cry... I love everything about them because they are a part of me! Even though we live paycheck to paycheck. Even though I can't afford to shop for new clothes. They are worth every sacrifice and as often as it hurts, it's worth a sleepless night or three!
anyways how can you say no to their smiles !!!
