Re: Raising My Son
As the dad of a 5 month old, I know how you feel.
Just today, I got a bit choked up about the death of 3 young boys in a Lebanese family, when their car was hit by an Israeli shell. The youngest boy had been born in the back seat of that same car hours earlier, as they drove north to safety.
Politics aside, we all worry about our children, and in turn, as good parents, we worry about other people's kids, too and we understand what their parents must be going through. It comes with the job of being a parent.
I used to not care much about the safety of the older cars I drove. If they had no airbags, or were small, or were worn out, I didn't care too much about MY safety. But I do now. My son deserves a safer vehicle to ride in AND his dad needs to live to make sure he grows up in the best possible environment.
