I can't. I can't imagine having the little life I created ripped away from me so senselessly. I cannot fathom what the parents of little lives that have been taken in the Connecticut shooting are feeling right now. How anyone, mental or not, can do a horrific, senseless, act like this is beyond me. I want to do something to help these poor people. Sure, there's going to be donations set up. But donations don't heal a broken heart. They don't bring back a loved one, especially a little boy or girl that you gave birth to or watched being born, played games with, tucked in every night, or gave hugs and kisses to before sending them off to school. I'm going to have an extremely hard time on Monday, leaving the school after my son's Christmas play in the morning. Even with all the security at my son's school, is he truly safe? He is in Kindergarten, just as those precious angels were whose lives have been taken. I think to myself, that could have been him! It's disturbing. But I'm slightly comforted by the fact that I'm sure because of this incident, maybe, just maybe, Obama will re-think the whole gun law issue. And also, that my son's school, will take even MORE precautions and security measures. As we've all learned as far back as we can remember... "You can never be too safe".

It is scary these days it's hard to leave your own home with out getting hurt. But yes I do know what it is like to be told that you have lost your child. I was pregnant last year before Christmas and I was told on the 16th of December that I had a miscarriage. I was a wreck. I had a hard time just looking at my daughter and think she will never this little person that I lost, that we could have loved like no other in this world. Then I could believe what I was told in January that I was still pregnant. It has never taken away the pain of being told I had lost a baby and it never will. He is a remind very day that life is so short and it can be take away at any moment by anything.

crissy I said I was told I had a miscarriage. I didn't have one they just couldn't find my son but it was really bad being told I had lost a baby when I didn't.

As i read this news in Yahoo, I cried! how could this happen? I really can't imagine how hurtful it is to the parents victims and to the victims itself...
Schools should have security guards to check people who will go inside the school campus particularly to those who are not employees.

If I have read and heard this news correctly, there were guards at this school and this deranged person FORCED his way in. There were no details on just how he did that, but that is what I heard on SNR radio news on my local Country Gospel station here in Texas.
It is indeed a very sad happening that even that could happen.

I agree with you. I believe that in this world today, we can never be really safe. There are violence all over the world and even if there are policemen and securities, they cannot rescue somebody who's in trouble. As a mother, I am so bothered about what happened to the children in Connecticut. We cannot blame the murderer because he also have a problem inside his house that triggered the killing. What we can do is to pray for our children to be safe at all times.

Crissy, I feel like between the senseless crimes that are occurring everywhere
And the devastation of natural disasters, no place is fool proof. No zone is
THE SAFEST. I guess this is where our faith comes into play...if we
Believe in a higher power we have to pray. BecAuse sadness is rampant in all
Parts.
