Children are precious to my heart.  I think this is true for most mothers.  As a mother... its like your heart opens up a little wider where children are concerned rather it be yours or someone else's.  I tend to go a little overboard and 'adopt' even my son's friends and if their mama wasnt around and I was...they had a mama to run, too.

The recent event in Connecticut leaves me deveastated.  I am shocked at how much.  I know that sound crazy to say that I'm shocked by it considering our entire NATION is grieving but ya'll...I sat in front of the TV for two days strait. 

 Life is suppossed to go on but how?

For some...life will never be the same.  And for them...my heart hurts.  I hurt for the 20 children who felt pain.  I hurt for the siblings of those 20 children.  I hurt for the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncle and surviving friends of those 20 children.  I grieve for the 7 adults that were taken from their spouses, signifant others, parents, children, aunts, uncles.  And I grieve for the man who acted on the thought that THIS was the answer.
