There was a rather chilling article up on .msn yesterday title something along the line, "...I am Adam Lanza's Mother," detailing the struggles she faces with her own mentally ill son (drawing a parallel, she's not Nancy Lanza). She describes her other children implementing their "safety plan" (locking themselves inside the family car) when their brother has an outburst. Having to carry all the knives in the house with her in a Tupperware container. Showing up at the emergency room with him and pleading for the staff to call the police. I was shocked. I've never had that kind of window into that kind of situation faced by another parent.

My thoughts today are with two families who'll bury the little people who were their hopes and dreams for the future.
