Driving into work this morning, I heard about the 7 year old boy missing in Anderson... made me realize that I am going to have to keep my children within my eyesight until they are walking out the door to go to college. Seriously... and even then, how many stories have we heard about college students disappearing?... I think about how horrible it would be to have your child taken away. For anyone reading this who doesnt have a kid, you simply cant understand until you have one. Your parents do...you do not. Your kid(s) are your most valuable possession, not simply because of the monetary value...that is a given. You sink 100s of thousands of dollars into your children that you will NEVER see recouped. That isnt it. It is that your children are...YOU.... they are you 50 years from now...they are you 200 years from now... they are the product of they love you have with your spouse. And if they are taken away, you lose so much more than just your child... you lose the very essence of...YOU.
...at least today has a good ending for that family...they have found that missing child.
...thinking about taking my high end digital camera to formal and taking "official" pictures of people...need to do a sample and give it to the Social committee at their next meeting.
todays to do things... and its already 11:00am...Call Erik, Call Kristen, make eye appointment, do grant proposal, find software solution for formal pictures, investigate HES bulb problem, research LCD purchase for English Department
