Every parents nightmare is to wake up one day and blame themselves for every moment they were not able to protect their son/daughter from harm. I learned this today.
I found out Wednesday night that a cousin of mine was killed in a freak accident this past weekend. My family did not have many details but I found a news article describing the incident. I kept reading it over and over in disbelief. To me he was one of the little cousins despite being only 20 years old, but to others he was also a brother, a son, and a friend. I could still see he was the baby, the darling, of the family. His mom always doted on him.
Our whole family is hurt by this incident and I am making no attempt to underestimate what it is like for his parents, his brother, and his sister. There is a saying that only time can heal these wounds. We will have to wait to see. Rest in peace, EM.
