There are moments you always remember where you were. I remember where I was when I found out each of my kids were on their way, I remember where I was when I met my husband, where I was for 9/11 and where I was when I found out when each of my grandparents had died. Some of these memories are happy, some are not. Today is a day I will never forget and the way I felt as the news rolled out. So many little lives lost. So many parents dreams crushed. When I heard, all I wanted was to see my kid’s faces. My 12 year old was home sick and she sat here and watched the news with me. We saw President Obama openly show emotions. I felt such great respect for him. He spoke to the nation not as a president, but as a father.
I thank God for the fact that I can still hold my children. My heart is shattered to think of those poor parents that can’t. It’s a parents worst nightmare. At least it’s mine. When my kids first started to go to school putting them on the bus was the most nerve-wracking thing I have ever had to do. School is supposed to be safe. It is so sad that it seems nowhere is anymore.
Many prayers will be said tonight in my house for the families of Sandy Hook Elementary. This was such a tragic, unacceptable, unfathomable loss. I am so sorry that a man felt it was his right to take from you, that he was in charge of your loved ones fate. He had no right.
