It has been this way for many years, but only seems to be getting worse.

Do you look at your children and loved one’s and just hope you can be the best protector ever. A guardian angel and shield them from all harm, In this world or any time in era that was never a guarantee but the mountain we climb to be that is more than Mount Everest. We for most parent’s will walk a thousand miles in our heart to do so or for your family in general. I hold my loved one’s very dear and sometimes cry knowing I can not realistically protect them from everything. In a world of such hate, perverse and heinous of crime’s what are we to think. I wake up and do my best everyday to somewhat feel a sense of huge responsibility with such fear, as what if I can not control a certain situation or foresee the outcome of every time someone I love especially pertaining to my children walk out the door or get in a friend’s car. I think to myself please make good choices and beware of danger for it lurks out there and that you are not invincible to any of it.

Many incident’s may be out of their control which saddens my heart even more, a car accident that may be the other vehicle’s fault or a sick minded relative to a friend of theirs that seeks them out and steal’s their innocence’s I can go on and I am sure many have this fear as it is not always a beautiful world, all we can do is hope and pray that all who we love never fall victim to any of these heinous and even accidental tragedies. I am certain that I am not the only person who feels this. You can preach till you are blue in the face and guide them as much as you can for you still can not be God. You can give them all the word’s of wisdom and hope that they are never in harms way until then all the worries and pain with the suffering comes along with protecting a loved one.

We ask ourselves why so much hate, crime and prejudice towards a life, Not to exclude pet’s as well for they are victims also. The older I get I feel it more, I just wonder for when I am gone will the one’s I hold dear be spared of such despair,heartache and tragedies…..If you love someone or most cases many than you can relate to this story of fear and sorrow, so read on a say a prayer each and every night that your loved one’s are safe but you must make them well aware of what is out there and that it can happen to anyone…..My motto is protect to the very best you can and to instill much values for it is a cruel world and sadly there still is no guarantee….It may be there only fighting chance in today’s society!

    How true, I also wish there was much less crime, hate and all, but I do not think this is going to happen.I don’t know what happened to the world outside. I guess all we can do is protect the ones we love the best we can, and pray to God that things will get better.

    Gabbi,
    Right from a Mother’s heart.
    You do what you can and leave the rest in God’s hands (His hands are very big).

    It\’s scary. Especially if you have witnessed some of the hidious things yourself. I feel like I have to be my daughter\’s god. There are somethings people should not have to go through, I don\’t care what the excuse. I will not provide any excusses for anybody or anything.
