Earlier today, my biggest concern for the day was getting my Citrus Lane box today so that I could blog it later. After hearing about the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in CT today, I feel dumb for being concerned about something so trivial.
My thoughts and prayers are with every affected today. It makes me sick to think someone would do something like this at an elementary school. Those were little kids. Just a bit older than L. When I went to pick L up from his school today, all the parents were talking about it (of course) and everyone seemed to hugs their kids a bit tighter. I know I did.
L is a little young to understand why is going on, but I am guessing lots of kids are going to come home from school today with a lot of questions. Here are some resources that might help:
How to Talk With Kids About School Shootings
Talking Violence With Children
Hug your kids a little tighter before bedtime tonight. Spoil them a bit extra. Enjoy them. And pray for the people in Newtown who aren’t that lucky tonight.
Funny- I came here looking for a review because I wanted something to get my mind off of the tragic events of today. I need something trivial in order to keep composure.
I’m sorry!
What a thoughtful post. I agree with your thoughts wholeheartedly.
