I don't have cable, but every time I turn on the computer it seems I run across something about the shooting this week. My heart is broken for those little children and their families.
When I first found out, I tried to avoid reading about it. I thought I could lessen my own heartache if I didn't know the details, but I somehow found myself being drawn to it anyway. I can't imagine the way a loss like that feels. I pray I never find out.
I wasn't going to write anything about it, but then I felt that almost trivializes it somehow. I find myself randomly thinking about it throughout the day unexpectedly with the most gut wrenching ache, until my throat constricts and I have to take a minute to collect myself and step away from the sorrow.
This Christmas it seems everyone is hugging each other a little tighter, and loving a little more. I hope it stays that way.
I'm sad I'm not going to see my family this Christmas season; especially my adorable nephews and nieces who I just love more than I ever imagined.

To those families who are hurting- my heart goes out to you and your innocent little children. I am praying you find peace.
