All tragedies are terrible. We especially feel pain and anguish and grieve for two young people whose families lost their children AND grandchild in a terrible, awful, horrific moment.
What do I take from this? That I need to hold my husband, children and grandchildren close to me, and never ever waste a moment or take for granted all that is good in my life from Hashem. It can be gone chas v’sholom in one terrifying, careless moment. Lo aleinu.
For those who wish to look at this tragedy as a lesson to be more tzniusdig,to speak no loshon hara, do more chessed, whatever one chooses, those are all fine and worthy objectives. Right now, I just want to hug my baby grandson (and my other aineklach), thankful that I get to watch him every morning, and wish that the baby who was torn from his mother and father, even as they were torn from him, also was still alive and well and able to be held by his Bubbies and Zaydies, as well as his parents. This is really too painful to bear.
