When I first heard the news of NFL star, Andrian Peterson 2 year old son being murdered, by his mother’s crazy, disturbed, despicable, heartless, devilish boyfriend, all I could do is think of my own 2 year old son. I know I can’t even begin to imagine the pain, Peterson and his baby mother are going through, but I still hurt, through sympathy.
So, when I heard initial reports that Peterson would let the Vikings Organization know, if he would be playing in Sunday’s Game, I was infuriated with Peterson! Here is Peterson Statement on why he is playing: “My brother passed the night before the combine and I decided to go through with it; the same reason why I will play this week. You may ask why? God wants good to come from it … We mourn and grieve but heaven had the baddest welcoming party for my son. That knowledge gives me peace. “I’m still hurt and feel the pain of life, but I’m able to function because of the peace and joy of knowing my loved ones are in a much better place.”
God wants good to come from it? What! How is Peterson, playing in a meaningless game, going to bring good to it. Win or lose, is not going to bring your son back. Have we gotten to a point in society, where death has no sting? Are we that numb to death, where it’s not awe shocking anymore? What ever happen to mourning for the dead? When did we get to the point, when someone dies, we go to work the next day?
It’s one thing to lose a family member, through natural cause of death, but when a 2 year old child is murdered, it’s time to stop AND mourn. Regardless of the status of Peterson relationship with the child’s mother, they need to be comforting one another through this difficult time. One can only imagine the pain, the mother is feeling right now.
Andrian Peterson, how could you go to work when your 2 year old child is still in a morgue? God bless the child. Let me pray and mourn for this child.
