MSNBC: After quake, 1-child policy causes pain

Oh.

Oh. This made me tear up.

Think not only of the children who died before they had a chance to live, who never got the chance to see out the full potential brimming within them, who didn't have the chance to experience the love and laughter of a sibling-shared childhood, but think also of their parents, restricted to one child, their sole child, the product and recipient of all their love and hopes and dreams, taken away, so in addition to losing a child to such a horrible event, they lose their only child, and perhaps some of the parents are not so young anymore. And think of the grandparents. Oh. So horrible.

We continue to pray for them.
