The horrific tragedy of Sandy Hook is all over the news, Facebook and the overwhelmed faces of the people I cross paths with. I live in Connecticut and know many people directly affected by it. And I know if I didn't live here, I would still be plagued by the unfathomable horror.
I thought it would be therapeutic to get my feelings out, and what better place than this blog? But I can't seem to do it. The fear and grief have shook me to my core, and my heart is filled to the brim with emotion. I can't seem to put into words everything I feel about this. And just when I want to release it, I catch myself. I feel so guilty for being this distraught when I didn't lose someone close to me. So I pull my fingers back from the keys and I stare at the cursor blinking, waiting for it's next letter.
The one thing I know for sure is that I've been squeezing my little ones tighter than ever. I've noticed Joe holding them closer for longer. Grandparents, if it is even possible, are more awestruck by their new skills. We all have a heightened awareness of the blessings in our lives.
