I erased the post that I had started earlier after hearing the news today. I am at a loss for words about what to say. My heart goes out to the people in Connecticut for what turned out to be a horribly sad day.
It just makes no sense. There is no justification ever for why this could happen.
I can’t imagine what a hard time these families and that community will have for the holidays. It breaks my heart.
Changes need to happen and that gets said after every tragedy. Is this time going to make a difference? I hope so.
It’s been a rough week, for sure. On Tuesday this week, there was a shooting at the mall by my house. A 20 year old kid went to the food court and just shot people. No motive. No reason. No target. Completely senseless. Today is just piling on to the horrible sadness I’ve been feeling since Tuesday. I feel so bad for those parents today. 🙁
Amen and amen. I’m simply numb.
Nothing more to add Lori – so sad & yes, what will need to happen to make this change…. Like Cammy – numb!!!!!
Yes Lori. I heard while I was at the gas station. I got back in my car and just cried.
Our little middle school lockdown drills are no match to multiple weapons and ridiculous amounts of ammunition. God bless Newtown, Connecticut.
It’s such a sad day. My heart aches for everyone involved.
As you know I live in CT and work for an first responder company. We were getting news about exactly what happened even before it was on the news. The grief here is palpable. Connecticut is my home and I feel like homeland has been terrorized. I’ve been crying off and on all day and I believe I know anyone directly involved. Time will heal this as it heals most everything, but it’s going to take a long, long time.
I meant to say I “don’t” know anyone involved.
No words, just a heartbreaking ache. 🙁
Agreed Lori. A sad day indeed!
It’s so sad, sad, sad. I feel so sorry for those who have lost their loved ones.
Will this change things? I don’t think so, these things have happened in Europe too, even in my own country. Sadly there will always be sick people who do this.
