This is my First Grader.
I've been hugging him extra tight all weekend. Each time I see the faces of the Newtown angels, I see my boy and his classmates. I can't imagine the profound grief of those parents. I can't wrap my mind around this violent world we're raising children in. I try to keep him safe and sheltered from it. But time is not on my side. I pray. I hope. I vote. I wait on the world to change.

I too have a first grade son that I have been hugging a little tighter lately. The tears just seem to flow when I think about those sweet kids. I am praying with you Nancy. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI have not stopped hugging them since Friday. I do hope that peace comes to the world for our children soon.
ReplyDeletemy daughter is 7 on Saturday and I have had nightmares since Friday (Saturday morning our time in New Zealand) the thought of anyone harming my baby scares the hell out of me. there is no greater crime than a crime against a child. I think this awful tragedy has effected every parent world wide and made our hugs a little longer and our kisses a little more special. so from my side of the world Nancy I add my prayers to yours and wish for peace and unconditional love for every child in the world
ReplyDeleteI am on the other side with a daughter turning almost 16. The thought of her leaving our little secure home into a world full of ncertainty scares me greatly. I just keep praying and praying and praying. Last weeks tragedy is just unspeakable. Like another person stated- the tears just keep flowing, and I keep praying.
