Thoughts On Newtown, Connecticut

I can't stop crying for the children and families whose lives were torn apart last Friday by the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.  An elementary school.  How can it be?

And for the survivors, I can't stop thinking about the violence that was forced upon those young, innocent children in a place that is supposed to be safe.  

I'm grateful that my boys are too young to know about this horrific event.  I don't even know how to explain it to little people.  I've thought so much about my sister, who has an older daughter.  How has she been able to process the events with her?

I do know that my life as a mom has been rocked by this event.  So much innocence.  So much heartache.  So much violence.  So much fear.  I just want to wrap Gabe and Zach up into a titanium bubble and keep them there forever.  For Gabe and Zach, I pray that you may never know tragedy such as this.  I love you both so much.  I am so lucky to have you.
