' A hundred rockets a day was a good day' doctor's widow saysCNN August 8, 2010
Risking their lives to help disadvantaged Afghans became almost a norm for Tom and Libby Little.
"We raised our three daughters through what was, at times, just hell." Libby Little said. "A hundred rockets a day was a good day."
Family members lived underground to avoid bombings, she said. Yet they stayed out of a love for the people and a passion for providing eye care for the needy.
But violence prevailed on Thursday.
Tom Little, a New York optometrist, was among 10 people killed by gunmen in Badakhshan, a remote northeastern region of the country. The mostly foreign members of a medical team were robbed and shot one-by-one on a remote road.
