A man dies in Oregon wilderness - Sabine

[Guest guest]

Dear Sabine,

 

I've thought about it since I posted a couple hours

ago and I think what got to me was the photo that was

posted on the MSN homepage after Mrs. Kim and her 2

kids were found. It was a photo of Mrs. Kim talking to

a police officer (I think). The look of desperation on

her face can't really be described by just

"desperation".

 

She had that look I imagine any of us would get when

you'd give ANYTHING in the world to turn back time, to

undo something, to go back to when someone you love

was still alive, still unhurt. To before you did

something horrible, or before the horrible was done

unto you. That "oh please God" prayer that you can't

whisper, you have to scream.

 

And seeing that look, I hoped that just once Time

would turn back for someone. You know it won't,

somehow the desperation in her face was so severe that

I kind of knew he was dead, but you hope against hope

that just this once....

 

But it doesn't. And you feel that collective sorrow

for all the times it hasn't and for all the desperate

parents and children and lovers and friends who were

stuck with a fate they couldn't face.
