Yesterday Mindi and I were running a few errands. We went to the mall and then were on our way to the UPS store when we heard the news about the tragedy in Connecticut. When we got home I turned on the t.v. to learn more. Rich and I are devastated about the killing of these innocent children and adults at this school. Being raised by parents who were school teachers for thirty years, my Mom teaching Kindergarten for half of that, this really hit home. This is just pure evil from some very disturbed person. When a child is taken from your family it is like part of your heart is missing. We know from sad experience what it feels like, but Kamber's death was an accident. We were able to hold her and hoped that she didn't suffer. These children and their teachers and other adults were murdered. What a sad day for America when we have something like this happening in our country. Those police and first responders will be affected by this for the rest of their lives. I called Spencer yesterday and asked him if Tyton was okay. They live in Boston but I know that is in the area, well about and hour away. He was heartsick too and said, "what are we suppose to do, home school our children?" I didn't know how to answer him. As a grandmother of seventeen children from the ages of fourteen to two months, five of which are the same ages of those children killed, we need to stand up and do something to stop this violence. We pray for these families and hope they will be able to feel the love of our Heavenly Father through this grieving process.
