My friend Kris posted this story earlier today.  Basically, the Make-A-Wish Foundation made 13-year-old Erik Martin a superhero for a day.  This completely rocks my socks.  Click the picture for more pictures!

I was going to write something about how beautiful the sunset was today…or how huge and eerily orange the moon was earlier tonight…or how it was nice to get out of the apartment on such a beautiful day and just drive around town…but then my mom told me about that little boy in Wylie and my heart just sank.  Take a look:

First of all, what in the world would possess a woman to remove a feeding tube from her blind, deaf, and dumb grandchild and leave him in the middle of the freaking woods?  If it was really such a burden to take care of him, go drop him off at a hospital or social services.  Anything would be better than camouflaged in the bushes, exposed to the elements for days.  What could have been going through her mind? His mind?

I can’t find the words to describe how I feel about this.  It’s just…terrible.
