A little over three months ago I held back the tears as I watched my first born enter Kindergarten. I'm not one to easily cry. I watched him as he entered his classroom and was now in a new stage of life. What a wonderful stage of life it is. He comes home every day excited about what he has learned and eager to tell stories about recess or P.E.
And today I cried. I cried for those moms who "let go" of their kindergarteners but who will never be able to hold them again.
This massive shooting spree in Connecticut, claiming the lives of 20 young kids has me (and most of the world) sick to my stomach. It is beyond comprehension, beyond understanding and there is no way to begin to process it.
All I know is today when I was a little short or a little impatient I quickly said a prayer of thanks. Thank you God that I still have all my babies. Thank you for giving me these babies. May I always be reminded how blessed I am.
