This is self explanatory it would seem, but people are so quick to judge others. Why didn't she do this or why didn't she do that? Let me tell you what I am talking about...
Earlier this week there was a tragedy in Robeson County. A 3 year old boy drowned. Each person I talked to had something like this to say: "well, where was his mama?", "why wasn't his mama watching him?" and other rude comments. Everyone jumps to the conclusion automatically that the mother did something wrong, not knowing anything at all about the matter. I will say this, I do not know these people, I have no idea what happened. I can tell you that my heart goes out to this mother and her family. They have been dealt a great loss and I hope I never have to know what it is like to be in her shoes. No one is perfect and I 'm sure all the people that were so quick to judge this woman are no exception. If something happened to your child, an accident, how would you feel is everyone said "this is your fault" and judged you without knowing anything about you?
I would also like to add that as a mother on a very busy 2 year old I know how easy it would be for her to get away from me. Their mind is constantly wandering, they don't think about dangers, everything is fun and games at this age and it's really fun to try to get away from mama. Rachel laughs and runs as fast as she can if she gets away from me. She thinks it's a game, it's fun, it's freedom.
I hope that the mother and the family of this little boy's pain will be eased and she can find a way to go on. My heart goes out to her is all I can say. She has suffered the greatest loss I believe anyone can. We are not supposed to outlive our children.
