I’ve been watching Idol Gives Back and its messing me up. They just finished a segment on malaria in Africa, and there was a woman in a hospital watching her daughter lying in a coma from malaria. The girl was 8mos old. A month and a few thousand miles separates that baby girl from Connor.

A different time or place and I could have been the mother sitting at the bedside wondering if this child would die. Mothers should not watch their babies die. Our hearts were not meant to take it. 13 million orphans in Africa from AIDS. And I’m upset that I’m stuffing all of my son’s stuff into my little car. Gosh I’m so disgusting.
