..... 20 years ago today, James Bulger, was led away to the end of his very short life..... he was just 3 years old....
I remember the original events well, I can even remember where I was driving, when the news broke on the car radio that his body had been found, and the sorrow I felt for his family, the strangers that they were, that they still are......
And so this morning, radio 4 was running an interview with his father.... I couldn't listen.... I just knew it would be too hard to listen..... such is the selfishness that is thyself, I could turn the dial to off....
Ralph Bulger does not have that luxury.....
I am not sure whether a song is appropriate, maybe to assuage my guilt at turning the radio off perhaps......
