It is easy to get caught up in the wonderful spirit of the Holiday season. But just a quick glance in the newspaper or a few minutes of the evening news quickly makes you realize there are many families out there that will have other things on their minds...
Two cases comes to mind here locally. A guy decided to rob a Nationwide Insurance office. When the two women there, Yvonne 26, and Jane 23, didn't give him enough cash to please him, he doused the place and the women with gasoline and lit them on fire! The women ran screaming outside, and a guy from another business came running to help. The robber then shot him in the face... The women are now in critical condition at the hospital with burns on more than 90 % of their bodies.Jane was 6 months pregnant and had to have an emergency C-section! The baby seems stable, so that is a positive. Why? Crimes are just getting so raw and pointless...
And there is another story, this a tragic accident that might have been preventable: 2 year old Lexi was swinging on a swing set at a local private park, when it gave away and came crashing down on her. She is now in a coma, and the parents have been told to start thinking about organ donations... But they have hope still. That is all you can have: hope!
We are all so lucky to have our friends and family. This is truly a season to be grateful for that!
Have a great weekend!
