I have good days and bad days with the worrying.

There's a commercial running a lot now. It's for Allstate, and the announcer says that every year, nearly six thousand teenagers go out for a drive and never come back. They're playing From Where You Are (youtube) which is a lovely song and so, so sad. This afternoon, the music caught Evelyn's attention and she froze, watching it without blinking, and then she smiled, danced a little bit, and clapped. She clapped because she was happy that there was music and it was pretty and there were things going on in the big box, and she had just had a nap and Mommy was right there and there were toys beside her and life was good. Her mother watched the commercial and watched her sweet, innocent baby clapping, and then she cried because every year, nearly six thousand parents have their sweet baby go out for a drive and never come back.
