Jacob "Chewy" Jackson

I found out today that a boy Ian knew from Heart Camp passed away last month.   After my initial sadness for his parents, I felt so happy for Ian.  I know,  it's the worst emotion in the world to feel, but just to myself  I can say hooray-- my son has a buddy his own age that he can  hang out with--someone he knows and  that he was with only a few months ago.

That doesn't make me a monster, does it?  I don't know the boy or his parents personally and I wouldn't wish this horrible fate on any family.  I would be excited for Ian to have a friend here so why not there?  The obituary sounds like he was a great kid and they'll be good for each other. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/charlotte/obituary.aspx?n=jacob-evan-jackson&pid=146985582&fhid=4251

I'm so screwed up.
