The main headline on today’s BBC News website is about a
group of children who fell through the ice on a lake. Three of them are dead.
I haven’t read the piece because the headline is painful enough without knowing the details. There’s nothing I can do about it, is there, so why go further into the intense darkness in which some families must be buried tonight, especially with Christmas coming on. (My daughter was badly scalded on 20th December when she was seventeen months old and spent Christmas in a specialised burns unit. Christmas didn’t exist in my house that year.)
I might remark, however, that the story is the most-read piece on the site, but I won’t judge those who did read it. Only they can know their various reasons.
