"My God, that poor kid. It's things like this that make you realize how small your own problems really are."

How right you are. At age 70, any problems I ever had or will have pale into insignificance compared to this.

Reminds me of the old saying, "I wept because I had no shoes . . . until I met a man who had no feet."

I'm not religious, but if ANY diety is watching, "Give this family a break."

"I wept because I had no shoes . . . until I met a man who had no feet."

Man, it can put your life in perspective in a hurry, can't it?
