Brianna, my daughter, wrote down her feelings about the shooting of the children and adults at the elementary school in Connecticut. She has two children in an elementary school and the feeling of devastation is strong with her as well as many parents with children attending school.
Brianna's Blog and her writing about the shooting at an elementary school today
Here is some of her writing:
We will never be able to eliminate the hurt, pain, and devastation that humankind imposes on one another. At any given moment, our children or community may be exposed to horrors beyond our understanding. But today, tomorrow...unless and until that happens, they can know kindness above the horror. The woman in my office, along with her children who deliver with her, spread love and kindness today despite the sinking feeling in her chest. The message that such an act sent was this:unthinkable tragedy can knock us over, but kindness gives us the strength to keep going.
