Oh, CamiSu, I hadn't thought I might awaken something from the past! I'm so glad things turned out all right.

The loss of a child must be one of the most horrific things imaginable. I'm sure that fear is the source of my nightmares. They do not happen frequently, no more than one every year or so but they are particularly vivid and horrifying.

I do not, as a rule, pay close attention to the news. I touch lightly, keeping an eye on history as it happens, but not getting too involved. I know what that sounds like but I have been burned out by infotainment and I cannot find any news reporting that is unnecessarily biased.

But all that is for another thread. What I wanted to say is that I opened the Sunday paper this morning to find the pictures of the father and son in Jerusalem huddled in terror as the bullets fly. That is a fear I do not need but will always carry.
