To Grandmother's House He Go

This week a six year-old Indiana boy died in a freak automobile accident. Joshua Woods was hit by a plane! On his way to grandmother’s house, Joshua never made it. The rest of his family barely survived after being pinned underneath a Boeing 737 that skid off the runaway at Chicago’s Midway airport and entered a residential area. Crash investigators are still determining the cause but bad weather is thought to have been a factor.

With only two weeks left until Christmas and with snow blanketing the ground, little Joshua was ironically singing along to Santa Claus is Coming to Town when a deaf roar preceeded the fatal impact. Life is a gift and Christmas should be filled with gifts but tis not the season for Joshua. Life can come up short. Because the plane didn't, Joshua's life did. To grandmother’s house he will never go again.
