Lying awake in bed early this morning and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the babies that were lost yesterday in the horrific shooting in Connecticut. I can't begin to imagine the pain and anguish those poor parents and families are experiencing. It's too much and too awful to comprehend.
What is the world coming to? There have been 16 mass shootings in the US this year leaving the loved ones of 88 people grieving. Why do these tragedies continue to occur, but more importantly, what can we do to make them stop? We can't let things like this continue to happen.
It's all just too horrible to bear - my heart is breaking for for the people in Connecticut, but for the rest of us as well. We live in a much scarier world than we used to - how sad to live in a time that schools now have drills and lock down procedures. Be sure to hug your kids a little tighter today. They will need your reassurance. As for me, I have decided to leave my peace sign lit continuously until someone tells me what else I can do. My wish for all of us is simple...peace...
