What Happens When an Angel Looks Satan in the Eyes...

By Rob Catanese

Why? Is the question of the day...What Happens When an Angel Looks Satan in the Eyes?

I am a photographer for the local ABC affiliate here in West Palm Beach Florida.  Today we were covering the annual Susan G. Komen foundation lighting of the Flagler bridge.  That is one of the three bridges that connect West Palm beach with the island of Palm Beach, you know where the famous Worth avenue is, and home to many famous and mega wealthy people.  The Komen foundation lights the bridge pink in honor of breast cancer awareness.  It is great cause and event.

Working in the media, you are constantly in tune with events of the day.  Social media, press releases, countless other news stations both local and national all at your finger tips!  It is both a blessing and a curse to have that much at your disposal.  As we were preparing for the bridge lighting, I noticed a report out of Hillsborough county Florida, which includes the Tampa Bay area of Florida.

When I read this, I was paralyzed, in shock that any person, let alone a father, could actually drive over the Skyway bridge in Tampa and throw his daughter over the side as if she was a piece of garbage that needed to be disposed of from his car, over 60 feet from the water.

Still in shock, it really didn't hit me until I saw the little girls picture, and the fathers.  The first thing that came to my mind was, this angel just looked into her father's eyes as she was being thrown over the railing, and Satan looked back at her!

WHY?....

Why do deranged people have children?  Why did an attorney who met with John Jonchuck, the father, just Wednesday to discuss his custody case have to hear him call her "God" and asked her to translate a Bible in Swedish, only to be followed up by a Deputy who found Jonchuck to be anything but maniacal?  Why did a mother, Michelle Kerr, have to be awakened by police to be informed that her daughter whom she hadn't seen since Christmas eve was dead? 

And, why did this man do this? As I looked out from our location where we were going to go live from,  I couldn't help but notice that that bridge that was going to be lit pink, was only about 20 feet above that intercoastal waterway.  I realized that the little angel in Tampa, fell more than 60 feet landing in the water!

WHY?
I don't have the answers friends... However, I do know this, that little angel is being held in Heaven tonight and is at peace and is happy and not in any pain.  There is so much evil in this world, I see it every day. I try my best NOT to take my work home with me, but today's confluence of events really got to me... I will pray for that mother, she will need it. 

A mother who will never see her child again in this life. I will look at that father with disgust and immense disdain and disbelief. The evil that  some men do is in no uncertain terms, unimaginable and inexplicable. This story will be with me for a while, I had to share my thoughts with all of you today.  There are just no answers when it comes to deeds such as this.

Perhaps this is what it looks like when an angel looks Satan in the eyes....

Stay in faith friends, peace and love to all of you....
