I'm a parenting blogger... It's almost expected I write something about the tragic... Devastating... event that took place yesterday. I have 4 emails so far asking what I think, and am I going to write about it. Well, the answer is no. I can't write about it because I can't stop crying.
I cry for the families who lost loved ones. I cry for my country and future of it. I cry for my sadness. I cry because I know my sadness is nothing compared... NOTHING... compared to the sadness consuming the Newton Community. I cry because this will probably not be the last shooting of this nature. I cry because my government is controlled by money and lobbyist, it is impossible to get anything done in a timely manner. I cry because my son is beautiful and I still have him.
I'm blessed. I'm heartbroken. I'm helpless. I'm terrified. I'm desperate for resolution. I'm so very sorry. I'm so disgusted. I'm beyond understanding. I'm going to hold my son... I'm never going to let go... I feel guilty that I can do that. That's not ok.
I'm... Screaming on the inside. Crying on the outside. I'm praying for entire community of Newton.
These horrible events have got to stop! NOW!

Very sad. Part of me asks what about the single child that went missing, was abused, was murdered yesterday that will not receive any media coverage, is it less important? Murder is murder. It's sickening. Enough is enough 1 or 100.
Nothing will ever come close to allowing us as parents to accept and allow these possibilities to enter our minds. I shut down every time I see the news- despair and utter disgust is not even a beginning to the emotions I'm assaulted with...
So so sad. The whole world wept this weekend :-(
So tragic, senseless, heartbreaking.
I think what you wrote sums it up so perfectly for me. I had to stop reading the coverage because I couldn't stop crying. For the last two days I've done nothing but hold my little sweet boy and cover him in kisses even more than I normally do and yes afterwards I cried and felt heart broken because of the moms that got their children ripped from their lives in an instant. It's all too much and too hard. I hate what our world is coming to...
