Having a bad day x 2

On the 5th February I posted regarding 'if you're having a bad day, tough get over it' and linked to an article about Sophie Delezio returning to school after being horrifically burnt in a freak accident a couple of years ago and saying what an amazing girl she was and what an inspiration she was to me at 5 years old.
Three months after that post, I find myself back at the same spot, linking to another news article . I've just read that Sophie has been critically injured in a motor vehicle accident today and is fighting for life. Her mother was apparantly pushing her in a pram and a car has hit the pram and Sophie was thrown 18 metres and landed on the road. The car didn't stop.

I don't believe in god, I don't pray, I don't really know what I believe apart from most people have some form of decency in them. Some are downright assholes and nothing in this life will change them. But I refuse to let them bring me down. But I don't know where I can find the compassion in this instance. Granted, the person driving the car wouldn't have known Sophie was in the pram, but they sure would have known that SOMEONE was in the pram and that they had just hit them. Why the fuck wouldn't they stop and at least outwardly show some remorse for their actions. People will never cease to amaze me.

If I could possibly send positive thoughts to Sophie and her family, I guess I'm doing that now. I have been hurt, but I can't begin to imagine what the Delezio family must be going through. I hope I never have to feel that pain myself.

If you can, hang in there kiddo, you really are an inspiration to me.
