Life is fabulous!

Yesterday I was at the park with my son and I was playing with him, following him around to make sure he didn't fall off the sides, run too fast, etc. and all a sudden I hear a loud cry. A little girl had fallen off the side of the playground. So, of course, a mom's reaction, I ran over and helped her up and started to dust her off and ask her where her mom was. I heard a boy say, that's my sister. So then another mom asked, will you please call your mom over. So, the mom, with a bothered look, gets up and walks over and grabs her little girl, walks slowly at that. She of course does the hug thing but doesn't once say thank you to me and kind of gives me this look like I was bothering her. Anyhow, the little girl was about 2, not that old and it was a big fall, about 6+ feet high, a good cry. (and yes I know some kids over react for attention but this was a big fall, caught lots of others attention too) If she would have landed wrong she could have hurt herself. I know if my son at that age were to fall I would be thankful for the nearest person to stop. Come to find out this was the same mom of the little boy, about 5 years, that was following me around just begging for attention, telling me, a complete stranger, to watch him and if I could help him swing, walk the bars, etc. I think it is sad to see children in need of love and attention. The little girl ran back out and kind of followed me, watched me and smiled. It got my heart....hug your child today and just let them know you love them, life is too short!
