Hugging My Children a Little Closer
A friend of mine had a 14 year old son hang himself Thursday night. His Dad and Brother found him, already blue and cold. Though the ambulance workers were able to get a pulse, he never recovered and was pronounced dead last night at 1023 pm.
Those are not words you ever want or expect to use in a sentence with “14 year old son”….. “hanged, blue, cold, dead, pronounced”
ugh. I am thinking about his momma and daddy. His brother. Those left behind. Praying. Holding my children a little extra long when I hug them. No I don’t think that extra long hug will make much difference. But I can’t help myself.
…so sorry to read this…
Oh Sylvia, I’ve been praying for them all day and wondering how it was going to turn out. We’ll certainly keep them in our prayers, and you’re right–we’re hugging our children a little closer.
