Got this scary message forward - one about some dad who whacked his kid's hand with a wrench when the kid scratched on the car; later found out he had scratched "I love you", and now the kid had lost his fingers. Dad committed suicide. A part of me goes - does a parent really do that? I mean seriously? For a car? And a part of me wonders - can I get that caught up in my day, my anger, that I would not only be that mad at my child, but actually hurt him that much? Such things make you stop and wonder.
I read about all the things that happen to children these days. And I cannot imagine any of it ever happening to my child - I think a lot of odd things, and I process the oddest of possibilities. But anything happening to my child? It's a thought my mind won't complete.
