[barbara]

I do not know if any of you watched cnn this morning but they were reporting on the caravan of immigrants stalled on a bridge.
They showed a mother hanging onto a ladder, dangling off a bridge to be lowered to a raft in the river. Once she reached the raft, her two small children were brought down.
Ok.... I know all the arguments about these people breaking the law to come here illegally .... blah blah blah...
putting all the politics of that aside, there was a desperate mother dangling from a bridge.
As a parent, I, much like any of you, would move mountains in the best interest of my children. And while I have seen tough times, I have never had to dangle from a bridge.
I have to wonder about the condition of our country when we have, seemingly, lost our humanity to partisan politics.

I do not know why this story struck such a nerve in me. I guess I am sick and tired of the hate being peddled by politicians.
