...and sometimes the pink is the blue.....


As I drove to work today, I felt flooded by emotions after having posted pink blogs earlier....The pink took on a different shade....as I thought of my cousin who died of breast cancer at 29 and my friends who have fought the battle and won...pink ribbons that commemorate and give hope...how did God create our brains and flow of synapses.....? 

and then....pink became the hue of my tear streaked cheeks as I read a newspaper article of a 4 year old who was killed by mom this week in my state after dad begged a judge to not send him to her due to psychological instability.  STONE ANGEL by Martina McBride and this statue posted recently  became my companions on the final leg of travel to work....

and then my mind was a whirl... I thought of the children in foster care and adopted, Big Sister and Big brothers Programs, United way...I'll stop there while CELEBRATING people who give their heart in hopes that there will be one less stone angel...signifying the beauty of a child and what was and could have been.....

I must put on my nurse hat now.....

That MM song always makes me cry, not only because it is beautiful, but because it saddens me to know that it is based in reality. Childhood should be free and innocent and beautiful, not full of fear. I'll be hugging my children extra tight tonight...
