I intended to write a post about the ways in which my day sucked, including how I managed to embarass the crap out of myself to scores of people, many of whom I don't know. I'll save that story for another time because I feel completely put in my place by a local story we've been following for the last 24 or so hours.
7 year old Hser Nay Moo disappeared not too many miles (maybe 2?) from our house yesterday afternoon. By 10 pm last night, her disappearance hit the local news. At about 9 am today, an Amber Alert was issued. By 9:00 tonight, she was discovered dead, apparently beaten to death, in a nearby apartment.
In so many ways, this is a painful story. Her parents were recent immigrants to the US from Burma where her father spent 20 years in a refugee camp. They also have a newborn baby.
I don't think I'm any more sensitive to this now that I'm pregnant, but I sure did cry a lot. What else to say, really?
Off to sleep...hopefully better dreams tonight,
Kate

i love you much(most beautiful darling)
i love you much(most beautiful darling)
more than anyone on the earth and i
like you better than everything in the sky
-sunlight and singing welcome your coming
although winter may be everywhere
with such a silence and such a darkness
noone can quite begin to guess
(except my life)the true time of year
-and if what calls itself a world should have
the luck to hear such singing(or glimpse such
sunlight as will leap higher than high
through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each
nearness)everyone certainly would(my
most beautiful darling)believe in nothing but love

I was flipping through channels last night when I saw this on Nancy Grace (oh, how I love to hate her.)
I fell asleep, so I did not know her body had been found.
There is a special place in hell for whomever could have hurt her.
