Perspective

June 24, 2009

If you were here yesterday, you probably read my post about my less than stellar day yesterday, complete with a fussy baby, a wailing toddler, a whiny mother and a mini diatribe about a Father’s Day lunch gone awry.

I deleted that post because it suddenly seemed staggeringly trivial and self-centered after learning that a friend and his wife lost their 8-month-old daughter to a rare disease on Sunday.

Sunday was my friend’s first Father’s Day.

    This news hit me really hard too. It really puts things into perspective. So sad.

    I am so sorry to hear that! Losing a child is among the most devastating events. And it does put things in perspective. You and your friends are in my prayers.
