Befuddled<\/a>, a blog written by a woman named “Louie”, is skimpy (or so it seems at first impression) on autobiographical details.\u00a0 But she’s an excellent writer, covering a very, very wide range of topics.<\/p>\n

This post from earlier this month – a memoriam to teenager that used to attend Louie’s daycare<\/a> – caught my attention:<\/p>\n

Pat and I went away for the weekend AND attended the Chicago\/Vikings game on Sunday. (Thanks R & R) All that sounds like a great time … hmmm, I beg to differ on that because of…well, if you’ve read my previous posts you know. The weekend away was to be a moment to forget, a moment to feel normal…<\/p>\n

Well…it started that way and it was really nice to be with my hubby…then on Saturday, I read the paper and there was a small blip about a car accident and a teen dying. The name didn’t register at that time, I was skimming and briefly sad for yet another loss on Highway 8 of a young life….a couple hours later, our daughter called knowing that she should only call if there was something urgent….<\/p>\n

The girl who died….she was one of the kids I did daycare for only a few years ago. It was after that phone call that I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown…I shut down. Too much for my human emotions to handle. At a certain point, the wall that I created to try to help my friends, crumbled, and I found myself lost.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the whole thing; it’s some excellent writing on a very difficult subject.<\/p>\n

So support your local MOB blog – whoever they are…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
