| The school shooting in CT happened hundreds of miles away. I didn’t know anyone involved. And yet I find myself filled with sadness for the families of those who were killed. There are mothers just like me who dropped their children at the school door and kissed them goodbye for the last time. There are fathers who won’t get to give their child her special Christmas present. There are children who’s best buddies will never sit next to them during rug time again. I weep. I pray. I grieve. How are you dealing with this tragedy? |
I am “heart-broken.” Although i did not personally know any of the victims or their families I am affected. I am certain the pain is unimaginable. As a mom of a 19 year old and teacher of many after-school students, my heart is “broken.” My husband and I were out Christmas shopping when we heard the news and were unable to continue shopping. The news was just too devastating. Our daugher, away at school said, “Mom, I couldn’t even study. There’s a daycare next to my job and they walk them sometimes and I just wanted to cry.” I believe this tragedy has and will affect the lives of us all for quite some time…
