Had a horrific accident around the corner from my house on the main drag a few years back. It’s a three lane parkway that splits into East and West at the point of impact. Relatives were holding “services”, out in the street every weekend!

I guess no one really knows the dept of sorrow and despair when one loses a loved one. Each has his own way of grieving - what is excessive to one is normal for another. When losing a loved one some need to go the moment of death. Their hearts are broken and their pain is enormous. We see those crosses and flowers all the time down South and when I do I say a little prayer for that family because I know they are so heartbroken. Much more going on in America that needs our attention than crosses of grieving relatives.
When the news geeks go out there and video tape of the plastic statues and candles, everyone on the scene starts hugging each other, and the huggers always have one eye fixed on the camera..
