Today as I worked on a special project behind closed doors
at work I kept seeing breaking news flashes on the internet of the shooting at
a grade school in Newton Connecticut and it left me feeling sick to my stomach.
As a parent one of my worst fears is something happening to
my children when they are at school or work. The thought of them having to face
such an action without me around to try and protect them has to be the most
horrifying sensation I'll ever experience.
As I sit here looking at texts from both ot my children I am
openly crying at the pain and sorrow the parents of Newton are now left
feeling.
Why do humans act with such depravity towards one another?
What kind of courage does it take to walk into a school of
small children and shoot them as you wander from class to class?
I know this won't come across as very enlightened or
politcally correct in this day and age but I truly hope that the soul of
monster who did this rots in a very dark and dank part of hell for eternity.
My heart goes out to the families ripped asunder at this
senseless act of violence who have lost a loved one and to the survivors who
will end up with years of anguish as they deal with wondering there but for the
turn of handle it could have been them and the reality that these families,
victims and survivors will now face one another day in and day out wondering
what could have been.
May we look back someday and point to it as the final act of
brutality that finally saw society step up and say enough is enough when it
comes to guns and take the steps necessary to protect our children.
