For one mother it is the very worst of times and the very best of times all on the same day. In one hospital room a young girl died after being struck by a car. Her mother was not there for the little girl's last few moments on this Earth. Her mother was not there because in another hospital room very close by, the mother was giving birth to a son. The mother said that all she could do for the forseeable future was cry. I cannot imagine her overwhelming sorrow. When I read this article I wanted to cry and I said a little prayer for that family. If you are the praying sort, I hope you will say a little prayer too. The optimist in me says that the little baby boy will turn out to be a hero. Wouldn't that be great. This news is perculiarly sad for an Odd News Award winner, but if it were just the beginning of a story, I'm sure it would have a happy ending. Let's hope that 20 or more years from now we are reading about the wonderful things that this newborn boy does as a young man.
