It seems as if all parents are sending their child or children to school this morning with heavy hearts. I know I squeezed Lilly extra hard when I dropped her off at daycare even though she just wanted to go play with a new toy they had. I don't begin to pretend that I have any profound words. It's scary world out there. It's scary that people are now afraid that this could happen to them-because really it could have happened anywhere. What is this world coming to that we need to be be afraid to send our kids to school or go to the movies, or just go about everyday life. It makes me sad-not just for those that lost friends and family- but sad for the whole world, sad for Lilly.
This tragedy has made me think how trivial some things really are. That instead of complaining or worrying about others or how I have hurt or others have hurt me, I should just let it go- it's not worth it- because no one knows how much time you have and life really is precious-I should be focusing on what's important and just be happy.
There really are no words. So I wanted to propose to take a moment of silence today. When you are so wrapped up in work, or errands, or getting those last minute Christmas gifts-just take a moment to stop, think, and if you so choose pray.
