It kinda makes you think about the world our children are growing up in. Gone are the days of walking to school. Gone are the days of playing in the streets, carefree in the knowledge you were safe. Gone are the days you knew everybody on your street and could go to people next door if your mum was late getting home before you got home from school. These are all things I took for granted in my youth, and now I couldn’t imagine letting my daughter doing a single thing on the list above. It really makes you think. Thank God Christopher was not a 1/4″ in the wrong direction. Thank God we can breath a sigh of relief, knowing that we will get to see him live to reach his potential. Thank God that today, Friday, 9 October, 2009, just three days after her 33rd birthday, Jaime is able to hug her eldest son another day, instead of burying him long before his time.
