There are times when the word "unfair" just doesn't cut it. It feels
like we should be able to wake up and find out that this was all a bad
dream. Or that we should be able to protest and have the outcome
overturned. There are just no words to express how my heart is breaking
over the injustice the universe has thrown at such a beautiful family.
I feel so lucky to have been able to "know" Caemon and his moms through
reading their blog over the years. The anecdotes
about a boy who was sensitive, wise and witty beyond his years never
failed to brighten my day. I can not look at a red stand mixer
without thinking about him and smiling. If I were the
type of person who was good with words, I would write something
eloquent and poignant here about seizing the moment, or hugging your
kids. I am not good with words, but it seems wrong not to pay some sort
of tribute. So I placed (and have refilled several times) a big bowl
of chocolates with a crocodile sign at the front desk of the library
where I work. I hope it can bring a little sweetness to the days of the
people who pass through here, just as Caemon brought sweetness to all
who knew him.
