Do you want to cry?

All of the details from the Annie Le case are heartbreaking (though, for me, not as totally earth-shattering as the Lily Burk murder), and this excerpt describing the memorial attended by her family takes me straight to tear town.

Quang Van, a Yale Vietnamese language and literature lecturer who attended the Mass, said that Le's mother wrote a poem in Vietnamese. It was about singing lullabies for her daughter when she was young, but now having to sing a different kind of lullaby with her death. Le's younger brother, Chris, read an English translation.
