Breaking my heart into millions of pieces

I just read a recount of the horrific state of things in New Orleans. It said that there are "barefoot mothers holding naked, screaming babies". I had to stop and cry for a minute. I can't bear it when my Miss Baby cries for any reason at all, and I do my damndest to fix it immediately.

Imagine holding your starving, screaming baby - who is naked and filthy - and being completely unable to do anything about it.
