I went through most of the day blissfully unaware of the events that took place in Newtown, CT today. Since I learned of it, though, I have been in and out of tears. Disbelief. Anger. More tears. As happens when I'm upset, I'm at a loss for words. I had to go about my afternoon and get things done, but I just wanted to get to my boy and hug him and tell him I love him and I'll do the very best that I can to keep him safe.
Whenever this happens, a mass shooting - something that is getting a little too familiar these days - I go to this place of disbelief. But today was different. Worse. How? Just how, could anybody shoot up an elementary school? They are kids! We are supposed to protect them! And then I think about the parents of those babies and I cry again.
