So as I'm sure you already know, I don't want children.
No, I'm not going to tell you I'm pregnant or anything crazy like that. Which I am NOT.
But I have an extremely strong feeling for a family that I have never met.
For a child that I will never know.
He was taken from his family because of a car accident and an incorrect booster seat.
I don't know if I feel protective of my nephew or what but I watch their video on YouTube frequently and I leave a link for it anywhere I can.
[Including here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azgBhZfcqaQ]

I embedded this video awhile back but I didn't say much about it.
I mean, there really isn't much to explain.
All I know is that I feel such a strong sense of responsibility even though I have none.

Maybe it's because my mom and I throw our car seat between cars all the time.
It's such a hassle and I doubt that even 50% of the time his seat is in correctly.
It's scary and I can't imagine what my family would be like if we lost Zach.
And I honestly don't want to.

I almost feel silly because I'm mourning the loss of someone I shouldn't.
But I think the loss of any child is an awful thing.
Especially one that was only three.

I dunno. It's just that nothing has ever hit me as hard as that four minute video did and I don't know what to do about it.
