Another tragedy. One of my friends lost his eight year old grandson in a four wheeler accident. I don't know the details - I didn't ask. The boy was air lifted to Huntsville then to Birmingham Children's Hospital. He had severe traumatic head injuries. He was an only child and my friend's only grandchild. As you can imagine the loss is devasting.

Not being close to his daughter or family I stayed at his daughter's house all afternoon during the services. There is a very serious meth problem around here and sadly break ins and such are common. They have a beautiful place out in the country and rather isolated. The beauty can't offset the sadness.

It was OK, quiet, I read, walked around some. Handled it ok until I had a visitor show up.






He knew something was very very wrong. And he was right. How do you explain to a boy's cat that the world has changed forever and that he won't be coming back?
