Like
most everyone else, I have had a heavy heart weighed down by grief since
Friday. I am grateful Elena is too young to understand why her Momma was crying
so much this weekend & why I hugged her so tightly. My mind has been filled
with thoughts for those parents who have lost their babies. I worry about how
many of them are carrying the guilt of a rushed drop off at school that morning
or an angry word being the last they spoke to their child. There’s nothing that
I can write that is much different than all that has already been written. But
I want to do SOMETHING, have to do something, before I can move on to my life & begin savoring the joy
that is my daughter in a new & deeper way.
I
am taking up Dyke in the Heart of Texas plea to remember one name. After
reading the names & a bit about each of the 20 children, I choose OliviaEngel.
Wow, I followed your links and read the blog you mentioned. What a wonderful idea. Like you I am too overcome by sadness to think about this tragedy for too long. It hits too close to home. So special to remember the innocent children rather than the bad guy!
