What a loss

DateWednesday, December 6, 2006

I logged in to join CityMama's call to keep hope alive when I saw the update that James Kim did not survive his search for help for his stranded family. I know I was not alone in connecting to this family who I have never felt and yet, invested fully in over the last few days. I was full of hope and fear and understanding for James and Kati as parents and partners and people determined to take care of their family in the midst of this tragedy. I was full of pride for Kati's choice to breastfeed both children and full of awe for the choice James made to walk away from his wife and girls in search of rescue. And now, I am full of sadness for the family who will go home without him. How hard, how heroic.
