On Monday I was reading news off my IPhone. I saw the above picture and the little boy in the picture looked oddly like Harmon in some ways. It broke my heart that here he was found on a remote street wrapped in a blanket, dead. I try not to read about cases like this. It makes me so sad but this time I couldn't help myself. I thought about how he had little Lightning McQueen shoes just like Harmon. How he probably loved to run and talk about fun things like trains and friends. I kept wondering how could no one know who he was? How could a beautiful child like that not matter to anyone?
Today they found out who he was. His name is Camden Pierce Hughes. (Camden was a name I considered for Harmon.) He was a really beautiful little boy!
Tonight I hugged my son a little tighter.

I don't hug my children more, as I really don't think that is physically possible. Rather, I watch them as they play, read, sleep... just gaze on their beautiful faces, and try to love them more than we already do.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sad story! That boy looks darling! How could someone not wonder where he was? How was there not a missing persons report? That just makes me sick. How lucky Harmon is to be safe and warm and loved.
