I have no words...

I have no words for the tragedy that happened today in CT.  A man was so angry at his mother that he shot her then went to her school and shot innocent children.  5-10 year olds.  Beautiful, sweet, innocent children whose voices will now be forever silenced because of one man's anger.

I will always remember where I was when I learned of the Twin Tower's being hit by airplanes.

I will always remember where I was when I learned that 2 high school boys killed their classmates in Columbine.

I will always remember where I was when I learned that a shooter killed a theater full of people waiting to watch the new Batman movie.

And now I will always remember where I was when I learned 20 innocent children were murdered.

The part of me that is a mother screams and cries for these grieving parents.  I can't imagine being told that my child's school has been the target of a murderer.  I just can't.

My daughter is 6-years-old, the same age as some of the children who were killed.  My heart just aches thinking about losing my baby girl.

I am so thankful for my children.  For the innocence they still have.  For the fact that I can hold them both in my arms tonight and kiss them good-night.

I'm also thankful that I'm not the one who punishes the wicked and evil.  There is ONE who will have the final say and His judgement is far greater than anything we as humans could ever give.

I will sleep better tonight knowing that HE has me in his palm and is watching over my babies.
