So i'm sure every single one of you has heard about what transpired at Sandy Hook Elementary School yesterday. What I don't think a lot of people know, is that Newtown CT is the next town over to me and I'm literally 10 min away from the school.
I think needless to say our local community is in complete shock and disbelief at what happened. I have watched nothing else on tv for the past 36 hours other than the coverage. I can't tell you how many times I've broken down in tears over this tragedy. It's amazing how much the way you see things change once you're a parent. Yesterday I worked from home (I do that every Friday so I can watch over my son while doing so), and I was so glad to be home with him. As President Obama urged, I hugged and kissed him a little harder since then.
I know people who had their kids at that school during the shooting. Most of them were able to make it out to safety. Some people who I know or know of lost a child yesterday. I can't fathom the feeling...
All I'm trying to do with this post is to ask you guys that, even if just for a quick moment tonight, this weekend, whenever... send some prayers, positive vibes, or just simply good thoughts to the families over here.
Thanks everyone!
