I stepped outside this evening and snapped a couple of photos of some of the out door cats. Smokey Joe, was sleeping peacefully in the porch chair, with out a care in the world. I left for about ten minutes to pick up some supper a few blocks away, and as I returned home.....Smokey Joe, was in the street. I picked him up, his body still warm but lifeless, a touch of blood from his mouth. Just a kitten....but my kitten and you might say one of the kids.
I had just heard on the TV about a young man drowning in a lake near by, a young man killed in a car accident just a few minutes before. Then there was the news of O.J. Murdock, a WR for the Tennessee Titans who died this morning at 25 as the result of a suicide.
A day of dying.....
A day of tragedy.....
A day of shock.....
A day of mourning.....
Parents, keep your children close. Nurture them, love them, and help them see each day as a wonderful experience, a gift, a blessing......
Children, love your parents, show them respect, savor each moment with them......
Live your life like there is no tomorrow, for we never know when tomorrow, will never come........

Wynn, I'm so sorry. It's so hard losing ones we love. Big hug for you....
Thanks Shannon.....
My prayers are with those who lost a child today, so unexpectedly, so tragically....praying for the Peace That Passes All Understanding.....
:( my heart breaks for you in memory of Smokey Joe, who from this angle looks so much like my Anastasia, also tragically taken before adulthood.
