My little soap box

This week has been one filled with emotion. It seemed as though every time I talked to someone I was filled with Tragic news. Friends with cancer, sickness in my family, my neighbors best friend killed in a crash and the topper of the cake was my family's life long friend lost her 4 year old grandson. And as I have really not used my blog as my soap box full of my pet-peeves I've been pushed over the edge and had to express my feelings on this one. We were away on vacation when the accident happened just like they were together at the lake spending much needed time with family. And sweet little Mason was playing on the beach with his Dad watching him. All the other adults that were on the beach with him were putting up the tent for all the older kids to sleep in that night when a gust of wind blew the tent down the beach. Masons Dad jumped up to help only turning his back a few mins. When Mason decided to go into the water. Needless to say there is alot of guilt and sorrow for this tragic loss with all family members that were there. All the if only's, and why did I's they are feeling is overwhelming. As any parent would feel. I was reading the obituary and for some insane reason the sight allowed comments. I was appalled at the audacity of some people posting how a plastic tent isn't worth a child's life. And how could you have walked away. I hope this family never reads the comments as I wish I didn't. So this is where my soap box of complains begins. I don't understand why anyone let alone someone who doesn't know the family would say such terrible things. I can't stand rude people who think they are the authority and make no mistakes. This could of happened to ANYONE!!!! Including the horrible people who criticised the family. I often wish there were more people that kept to the golden rule. (if you don't have anything nice to say DON'T say anything at all.) Wouldn't the world be a much better place?? I know it's not realistic but man it would great!!!!

My love and prayers go out to the Kimber family. I know Mason was loved and will be dearly missed!!!
