A parent's agony
Today in my print column, I talk about what is easily one of the worst things that can possibly happen to a parent.
In my case, it had a happy ending.
I was reminded of this incident, as I often am, by a recent event that made the paper that did not have a happy ending.
There is almost nothing as unnatural as a parent burying a child. And when it involves a young child, that pain must be absolutely overwhelming.
It is our job to report the news. I hope that we do that in a way that does not add to the heartache. That is not always the case.
