A hard choice.

It’s too bad that tragic mistakes can’t be undone. Yesterday, in the Twin Cities, a mother was getting treatment in a chiropractic clinic. On a table with automatic mechanical apparatus. And she brought along her 18-month-old child. Allowed him to crawl on the floor. Beneath the table. The child touched a switch. Which automatically lowered the table. Crushing him to death. Maybe that mother will anguish for the rest of her life. Wishing that a mistake could be undone. Or she can steel herself against tragedy. And get on with the rest of her life. Could be a hard choice for some mothers to make. –Jim Broede
