Connecticut Shootings

What a terrible tragedy.

"I can't imagine what these parents and families are going through." 

That was my first statement to my mom.

She responded, "Yes, you can!"

I can, but only to a degree.

I know what it's like to lose a child at that young age.

I know what it's like to feel that pain.

I know what it's like to continue feeling that pain.

I know what it's like to miss your child every single day for almost two years.

I know what it's like to go home to an empty bedroom and just cry because there is nothing else to do.

I know what it's like to try and keep their memory alive.

I know what's it's like to try and collect every picture and video ever taken.

I know what it's like to not have the same dynamic in your home as you are used to.

I know what it's like to be angry about a situation.

I know what it's like to feel God's love at a terrible time.

I know what it's like to have angels surrounding you.

However, I don't know what it's like to have my child killed.

I don't know what it's like to have the job of trying to forgive the person who took my child's life.

I don't know their situation.

But, I am praying constantly for them.

It was a terrible, thoughtless act.

May God bless all these families.
