a sad story

dear group,

many of you know i travel for a living; gone for 6 days at a time and
then the third week home for 6 days.  i read every post on this
newsgroup but can only hope to write, at best, sporadically.  i don't
ever mean to ignore anyone, it's just the schedule.

this is what i saw this past week.

i stoppped for a cup of coffee in eastern washington at a small
quickie-mart/gas station.  at the cash register i noticed a clear
plastic jar with a lid taped to the top.  on the side of the jar was a
homemade poster of an infant.  she was wearing a pink stocking cap and
it said: 'selena'.  written on the side of the poster were the words:
'we lost our angel on christmas day.'  the family had put the jar in
the store, trying to raise money to help pay for the funeral costs.
selena was two months old when she died.

i began chatting with the cashier ... we both spoke of how
heartbreaking it was.  then the girl behind the counter said: 'but it
gets even worse!  this is the second jar.  last week a man came in and
said he was the father and was collecting the money and took the first
jar.  when selena's father came back he told us that the man had gone
all over town and taken all the money.  now, we have the family's name
and phone number here and we'll call them when this jar is full.'

so.  some person stole money from a dead baby girl.

i can't say i'm shocked; there seems to be no limit what human beings
will do to one another ... but i am so sickened.

there are many deeply caring, wonderful people but this story shows
the other side of the coin.

sadly,

donna
