Terrible indeed that he felt he had to kill his family. What can possibly drive a father and husband to such desperation?
On a lighter side: you are indeed a lucky man: I love those pictures of your grandchildren. Too adorable!
LadyFi - Being a grandfather is wonderful, despite the distance.
I know the story you are referring to Swen, so sad. It sure makes you count your blessings when you see your G/children, great pics.. :)
Eric - thank you. I'm hoping for a third one! ;-)
I live in California and saw it on the news. You look like you have a wonderful son and daughter-in-law. The Grandkids look so sweet.
GW - Thank you. They make my life much better.
You are a lucky man. They look like intelligent, happy people.
I don't know why someone would take the lives of everyone in their family. Clearly it is not a sane decision, and so hard to understand with a sane mind (such as my own!). I just hope that the grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, neighbors of that family get the help they're going to need...

WV -- and I would not lie about this -- is "angst".
Pearl - I am indeed, and they are! ;-)
Those WVs almost make it worth blogging on their own. Yours, this time, was sadly very poignant.
I too read the story ... absolute desperation, probably exacerbated by the (perhaps) frivilous suggestion made to him. Hopefully that person will think next time before they repeat that.
The family is beautiful.
Veronica - They are. Sadly there is no justice in the world. It's not easy to tell what will tip it for somebody, and with such a tragic result. More people should think twice before they speak.
