Good Fortune

Susan Briscoe calls this block Kurume Kasuri Haba Ni Masumon, but I like Good Fortune better. While we lived in the UK I tried to follow Utah news online. At times it made me homesick, but I wanted to stay connected. Two years and two months ago I began reading about the disappearance of a young West Valley City mother. For a long time I wondered if she would ever be found. I wondered if her small sons would ever have a chance to live normal lives. I read about her husband’s erratic behavior and I wondered what he would do next. Sunday as our family snacked, chatted and watched the big game, we received word that this man had ended his life and the lives of his young sons. Perhaps now those boys are with their mother again. Perhaps their father is finally learning you can choose your actions but not their consequences.
