Bad things can happen when you lose your cool and are distracted by stress.
My prayers go out to this little boy, his father and family.

Man Accidentally Runs Over Son While Preparing To Evacuate
POSTED: 11:58 am EDT July 9, 2005
DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. -- The Florida Highway Patrol says a man accidentally ran over his three-year-old son while the family prepared to evacuate in the Panhandle ahead of Hurricane Dennis.
Highway patrol says 32-year-old Gerald Miller was either trying to park the family's van or back up to a trailer in the driveway of his DeFuniak Springs home.
Miller's two sons, three-year-old Christopher and eight-year-old Brandin, were in the van as he put it in reverse with the right sliding door open.
FHP Corporal Mark Weeks says Miller didn't see the boys jump out of the van and ran over Christopher.
The boy was pronounced dead in the family's driveway.
Highway patrol says drugs or alcohol were not involved in the accident, and that Miller probably won't face charges.
