I have such a heavy heart from the tragic shooting in Connecticut! I still remember the Columbine shooting. I lived in Colorado when I was younger, I even played basketball at that school a few times in High School, I had friends that went to school there. My brother-in-law had been a senior that year and his sister was also a student there at that time. It hit close to home.
This time these shootings are close to home because of the lost lives of innocent children. I can't help but think many times a day about the fact that there are families that will not be able to hold their children. The laughter those children brought to each of their families is gone. I read that one of the girls was the oldest of their 3 kids, I can not imagine the hole in their lives!
As a mother I hurt for them, a physical pain in my heart. When I woke up this morning my 4 year old daughter was laying next to me and my first thought was for the families that can no longer snuggle their little ones.
In their pain we know that those children are in the arms of Jesus. He welcomed them and they are no longer in any pain. And one day we pray all those families are reunited in heaven together! But it is tough to walk through the loss here on this earth. I have been in that place a few times in my life. Struggling day by day to realize the loss of someone you love.
As time does move on these families are forever changed and I continue to see our need for God. Life will go on. We have to keep moving forward. But we also want to live each moment, love each person and never take anything for granted. Life is so precious! God Bless and protect our families!
