The Child's Name

I was reading in the Chicago Sun Times yesterday about a man who was being charged with murder for putting his 4 month old daughter’s head through the wall because she wouldn’t stop crying. Sadly enough, that’s not that uncommon in a big city.

And how he was already under investigation for breaking her leg. That also is not that uncommon in a big city.

The child’s name was Destiny.
Then, on the way home from work, I hear on the radio about a father and son on New York who took the place of their dead son/brother who had been signed up for the New York Marathon. This fifty something and thirty something men trained in THREE WEEKS for a 26 mile race and both finished.
I swear to God I had to pull over on a side street as I drove home.

its sad world we live in, good thing there are some bright spots like the marathon runners.
