Those of faith here, we believe that God works in mysterious ways....my son, who has a form of autism where he is called high functioning....he has major issues with his coping skills......so I have to run interferance for him, and assist him absorbing chaos, or tragic news, etc.... I had to call in sick today because during the night, my left side of my face became swollen and I had tremendous pain and dizziness and nausea.....I did not know if this was my chronic ear issues, or if I had an abcessed tooth......I was obviously grounded for the day. So then I am watching TV....and we have a huge fire here on the other side of town....and they keep calling in more frefighters, pulling more alarms....then it happens...the building collapses on firefighters, men trapped, 5 rushed to the hospital, 2 critical....then comes the news....we lost 4 firefighters in that fire when the building collapsed....news is, one of the deaths is from fire station #51....Jimmy perks up then because he grew up with a kid that is a fireman out of that station....he starts becoming visibly anxious and worried. I turned off the TV, which seemed to make it worse for him........I try to reassure him that I dont think he has anything to worry about, chances are very good his friend is going to be just fine.....God is watching over him......and then I get the call....our little Robert, who we have known since he was in middle school, was one of the 4 that was killed when the roof fell in on them.....Thank God, my face is the size of a basket ball and I was here at home when we got that news....Jimmy initially did not do real well....he has no coping skills for these things and he withdraws and almost becomes catatonic....,but we have worked thru this tragic news, Jimmy is processing the information, a little bit at a time.....this is just soooooo sad for this precious young man, Robert....please pray for this young mans family, and all the others we lost today.......God Bless our first responders that charge right into hell for all of us every day....I heard they went in to rescue people they thought may be trapped inside.....
