This is not the cliche photo of a child who has a mishap at home, spends nearly three days in a childrens ward to return home all mended and better. This is a photo to remind me that I was guity in not being vigilant enough to prevent an incident that was preventable. To experience a childs pain, when the management of the injury is also traumatic to the child, is distressing. To live in a hospital 24 hours a day over several days turns your world upside down. I never want to feel like this again, I never want any child, especially one so young to have to go through this unnecessarily. The memorys will fade, but these words will live on to remind me how precious they are and how quickly things can change.
