Brave little Joshua

I don't follow the news in the country too closely...mainly because it is quite upsetting most days. So I only came across the story of little Joshua Hulley-Miller today, and I am astounded...and sad.

This 2 year old little boy did such a brave thing, it is absolutely amazing. After seeing his mommy shot by robbers, he must have been so scared. But then he saved her life. No child should have to go through an experience like that. Really sad to think what some children have to endure in this country.

The thing that brings tears to my eyes though is the thought of what his mother must have gone through during those hours after he left through the window, until help arrived. Being a mother myself, I cannot (and don't want to) imagine what agony that must have been...wondering if her little boy was safe, while being in such a bad state herself...not sure if her body would hold out.

Sad. Don't want to think about it...
