It would have been kept with other dangerous household products. When the company in question refused to comply with the request, David's parents, the Ayers, sued. Our family wanted the lawsuit to force manufacturers of baby oil to put a warning label on their products. This is so ironic to us because all David's parents asked for in the first place was this very label. When the company refused, their anger, frustration and a sense of justice led them to sue.
Most stories have a conclusion, a summation.
This one will only pause. Many of us prefer to see David in our mind's eye, laughing, running and tossing his brother a fast ball, rather than the way he is today. If it can't happen while he's here, then maybe it will happen later, when he's in a place free of greed and pain. My grandson may be in a cocoon of helplessness now, but those who love him still can see a butterfly of comprehension in those big, brown eyes, just waiting to fly out.
