Earthquake in China: The loss of a child
By Larry Seitz | May 15, 2008
There is great sadness in the world. The SunPower Kidz™ have lost so many thousands of beautiful children in the aftermath of the earthquake in Sichuan Province on Monday. The New York Times pictures have captured the profoundness of this horrendous event. It can only evoke tears and agonizing pain viewing the ruins and desolation of families hovering over the bodies of their children.
The SunPower Kidz™ sigh deeply as only an intangible feeling of emptiness provoke numbness and heartfelt grief.
Edifices of all sizes and shapes can be rebuilt, but how do you rebuild the hearts of parents who have lost their child? Words can never capture the anguish and sorrow.
There will be more fingers pointed and blame hailed at the local officials who disrespected family members wishes to extricate their children from the rubble. Once again, the insensitivity of humans shakes its ugly head. There will be investigations to determine why so many buildings collapsed when strict guidelines from a previous earthquake offered revised government codes of construction. Was compromise and the avarice of man once again a possibility? In all, the world many never find out these seemingly mundane answers of steel and concrete.
What is germane is the horror of the loss of a human, especially an innocent child.
We will never know the horrific emotions that were felt as their life left them.
We, the SunPower Kidz™ pray for these unprepared innocent and vital children and the families that will shoulder this darkness for the rest of their lives.
