I took my daughter to the ER today because she was having a bad reaction to an immunization shot, fever, swelling, and severe crankiness. While there, we already had to wait a while in the waiting room because the ER rooms were full. I felt bad for everyone there because they had to listen to my daughters screams. By the time we got into a room, got her vitals and history, we were suddenly rushed back out into the waiting room because a severe truma was coming in and they needed the room we were in. As we were going out, I suddenly hear a woman scream "Where's Calvin?! Where's my son, why won't you tell me?!" Turns out, her son had just been killed in a car accident. I looked down at my baby who will survive through this little fever and thought how lucky I was that it wasn't me screaming for her. Then I felt bad for that thought. I had to hold back tears for that mother, and couldn't imagine what she was feeling. I felt so bad that I have what she lost and wouldn't wish that on anyone
