Pushing Back Tears


I sat up the other night after watching the 10 o'clock news - pushing back tears. The thought of all the horror that is out there scares me more than it ever has before. From pandemics to war to lost children - it is terrifying. How do I protect Tess without smothering her? It seems that after having Tess I have come to realize more and more how fragile people are. I pray every day that humanity can turn itself around - not only for Tess, but for any innocence that is left in this world.
