Frozen Moments in Time

I did not sit down and write anything yesterday, the day was just a very strange and sad day. The tragedy in Newton, CT and the loss of all of those innocent children and adults is just devastating. My mind is still trying to wrap itself around it and understand.  As  I drove home yesterday and sat in the privacy of my car  I cried for all of those who died in the hands of a mad man and for the family of that man, who is also suffering.   I thought of my children who are now adults and the heartbreak and total devastation that those parents must be feeling. There are no words of consolation or encouragement. What do you say to a mother or father who took their children to school that morning as any other morning,  kissed and waved  them goodbye and told them to have a great day? How do you look someone in the eye and tell them the child that they had just held in their arms a  few hours ago, are now gone?

I cant, cant, cant understand and I consider myself a fairly intelligent woman, I don't have a formal college education, but I can put two sentences together and reason logically (at times). However, this is one of those occasions that my logical mind and my heart cannot connect together and they feel as if they are miles apart. No matter how hard I try. As I cried in my car, I kept praying and asking God, to help me understand, all I heard was silence and I realized (once again)  that I am not put on this Earth to question God or why things happen, especially tragedies such as this that will never be explained or forgotten. This is one of those frozen moments in time that will never be forgotten by those affected by this tragedy. You and I will continue to go about our days, once the media frenzy is over and they move onto the next sensational story, but those families will forever be connected with one another. Not by the birth of a baby, or a wedding or any other moment of life that is remembered fondly and with happiness. No, sadly this moment in time will be a bitter one, one that when remembered will undoubtedly bring sorrow and tears. All I can do is continue to pray and hope that as parents we embrace and love our children, no matter how old they are, what they have done or how far they are from us. As we can clearly see, our lives and our moments can be altered in mere seconds and become frozen in tears and sorrow. I have nothing else to say, but to please share
