     Much like almost everyone else, constant thoughts and emotions return to the shootings in Connecticut.  It's hard to turn on the TV, radio or the internet as the haunting images appear.  A sick and numbing feeling comes over me when it's time to send the kids to school.  
    I walked my son to his preschool class and had to fight the tears as I passed by room after room of beautiful children playing.  I wanted to take his hand and turn around to go home.  
      It's not possible to begin to comprehend what happened in that school.
      We have hugged and kissed the kids in ridiculous amounts since Friday.  We're trying to have fun with them but all the while feel a sadness as so many are suffering with an unconceivable loss.   
      Our hearts and prayers go out to the families and community of Newtown.  Psalm 61: 1 - 4

This horrific event has all of us re-thinking things. If my children were young today most likely I would be home schooling them. Last school year we had a horrible scare - I can somewhat relate to these parents. I was working fulltime in the home and Katie our youngest text me at 8am saying there is rumor that there is a shooter in the school. Instantly my stomach hit the floor, I couldn't think, my hands were shaking so bad I couldn't text. My preschool parents knew something dreadful was wrong. Luckily Stefani was still home she dropped everything and drove over there. Somehow I managed to text Katie to get out of the school and start walking home - as many of the kids were doing. Stefani got her home safely. We later found out it had been on fb the night before that there was talk of a gang shooting to happen that day. Thank goodness it never happened. It is a feeling I will never forget and will be so thankful when she has graduated!

I can't even begin to imagine the panic Sherie. It's a fear and pain that's more rooted than anything possible. When it comes to the life and safety of our children...nothing comes close to that emotion. I'm so glad that Katie was alright.
