A 14-year-old admitted during a hearing Thursday that he caused a stranger's death by hitting him without provocation. But the teen, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, denied that he laughed about the assault as detectives questioned him after his arrest. Witnesses said the teen yelled something to the effect of "What did you say to me?" and got out of the car. One witness said he shouted at the teen that Gregory hadn't said anything to him and that the teen should leave Gregory alone. But the witnesses said the teen -- who is over 6 feet tall and weighs about 175 pounds -- hit Gregory once in the mouth. Gregory, who was 5-foot-1 and weighed 106 pounds, fell and struck his head on the pavement in the 1700 block of Vaughn Boulevard. He died two days later at John Peter Smith Hospital.

Thanks dsc, my husband has CC but he isn't always with me and I have thought this is something I should do. This year I will, thanks for your encouragement.

If anything good comes of anything I say, it is I who should be thanking the Man upstairs.
