"At the DISCRETION of the NewsOK Editors, commenting on this article was turned off."
First of all, when does the Oklahoman ever use discretion?
I feel great, GREAT sorrow for this family, but cannot fathom for a second placing my child ahead of myself when getting off of a large piece of farm equipment.
I am a mess. A constant neurotic, worrying mess over my child...but he is alive...as am I, at the hands of my neurotic worrying mess of a mother.
To place my child, at 18-months-old, on the ground ahead of me and allow him to walk off, to even let him out of my arms? Is it a cultural thing, I don't know, but a life has been snuffed out, gone forever from this earth for no reason.
"I grabbed my daughter and we got down on our knees and prayed." said a witness...for what? For God to DO SOMETHING? Don't get me started, THIS has NOTHING to do with God.
This has to do with timing, stupidity, and the laws of science.
If praying to God makes you feel better, then by all means do it.
The preciousness of life cannot be taken for granted, whether by the mother of a lost 18-month-old, or a ten-year-old praying for a field mouse to live.
Shit just happens, and sometimes it's bad...very bad.
I watched both my parents die.
People I loved taken from me in horrendous ways at hideous times in a young woman's life.
I watch my child like a hawk because of what I've seen in this life.
Timing, stupidity, and the laws of science.
