This image makes me cry too--just like the one Christy painted.
I think of them as baby angels, as you can tell from my heading.
It reminds me of after my dad died. We walked around the cemetary because we've got other relatives burried there too. As we walked around, we discovered a section of the semetary devoted to children and infants. I can't remember what it was titled but they did have a special name for that section.
To me, it will always be baby angels.

My daughter was born two blocks away, 8 months before.
Goddamn Timothy McViegh to hell.
Ok. Maybe I should not have said that.
But I feel that way anyway.
Everytime I see this pic, it always reminds me he KNEW what he was doing.
He put that truck there KNOWING a FREAKING DAYCARE would take the brunt of the blast.
What a cold cold bastard.
This pic will live in infamy.
Yeh, Christy I know! And the fact that your daughter was born two blocks away and 8 months earlier must still send shivers down your spine.
You know...with Timothy McVeigh..my sister and husband who are anti-death penalty for the most part were not exactly mourning when they 'put him down'.
What he did goes way past what anyone can comprehend. And that's the way I feel about Bush lying us into a war.
Completely incomprehensible.
That is so wierd, because the day they executed him, was the day I turnede against the death penalty forever. Him of all people turned me against it.
I think everyone knows I had an epiphany with newt gingritch that turned me from a republican into a liberal in less than a week, but it was the death penalty question that I just could not deal with for years later. I was reluctant to close out the option of putting criminals to death.
Then they killed McViegh, and it was so wierd how it made me react. I was furious. I don't think I have ever been so mad. It did not bring anybody back, it did not answer any of the questions. How dare this nation believe his one pathetic life could balance out the souls of so many dead.
I knew they would bury the truth with him. The only people not willing to wait for the truth were the ones calling for vengence, and our government, who wanted him dead so they would not have to answer any more questions.
He died and by that night I was completely against the death penalty, and I have never regretted it.
He did not deserve to live, but, we deserved THE TRUTH.
And now we will never know it.
You know, I don't remember deciding that the death penalty is wrong. I've believed it since I first heard about our last person to be hung in Australia.
To me though, death is such an easy penalty for the guilty. How much easier is death than life incarcerated. For second after second; minute after minute; hour after hour; infinity upon infinity; and never see freedom again. Death is far too good for the really wicked.
