Why?

Last week, I heard the news of the murder of two autistic kids and it broke my heart. I was heart-broken not only because, two innocent kids lost their lives, but also because they lost it in the hands of their own mother. That is just wrong. And what is more alarming is the reason she gave the 911 dispatcher. She allegedly said that she wanted "normal" kids and didn't want her special needs kids anymore. How tragic! I know of many couples who would make great Moms and Dads and are yet struggling to have kids of their own and here we see this young mother, going postal on her own kids, just because they didn't fit her expectations of how kids should be. I understand that it is very, very hard to raise autistic kids and God knows how I will do in that situation, but does that justify murder?

Why did the kids have to be born in that home? Why didn't someone notice this Mom struggle? Why did God even create those kids that way? Why? Why? Why? I question my Maker with the infamous "Why?" fully knowing the answer to that question. We certainly do live in some crazy times in a very imperfect, chaotic world, where we, as a generation, have strayed far, far away from our purpose. But, I guess, sometimes, it is just easy to cry "Why?".

Peace.
