Some have asked what I thought about the shootings. We share only one thing, the loss of something precious, our child.
There are so many things I could add but the one thing I know for certain is nothing in life prepares you for the loss of a child.
Nothing in life prepares us for mass tragedies either.
Instead of assigning blame to this or that on a public forum (I do wish the news media would shut up with any and all theories) I will simply remember the parents and families in my thoughts and prayers.

Well said. All families and their losses and grief is what needs to be respected and honoured right now.
I agree.
I get tired of people trying to explain the unexplainable. Sometimes life just doesn't work that way.
I so hope that all the affected families find support. And not the sort of support that says 'in time you will get over it'.
Blessings......
hmmmmm, Lord have mercy on our souls. It was hard to hear and I imagine for those who bore witness much worst to experience and for the parent, woooo...may God grant them the strength to deal, move through the pain, grief and sorrow and the courage to enable them put one foot in front of the other in order to keep moving forward because the loss of a child is an ache that never goes away.
You are so right, nothing prepares us for the loss of a child. By this time in 2011 we knew our son was going to die, but when he actually did die very suddenly on Jan 13, it was still a horrific shock all of our "knowledge" did nothing to help us cope. My heart aches for these families who said good bye to their children as they walked out the door that morning and never saw them again alive. They have endured such a great evil.
Peace and prayers to all.
Some people like to show how smart(they think) they are..right through a tragedy.
Agreed
