Bad news

There is bad news today. A little boy is seriously sick. When an adult is sick, it seems to be just part of living, one of the rites of passage but when a child is sick it just doesn't seem fair. They are so young and trusting. Their lives should be joy and play and huge amounts of love. When will the world realize that children are all that really matters? They bring so much love with them when they come into the world, the world owes them. When a child is sick, it puts all of life's other miniscule troubles into a proper perspective except for the pain of the parent who wishes it could be them instead of the child.
