Looking for the right words

Sometimes things happen and although you can point to lots of facts and reasons, none of those satisfy your emotional need for hope and consolation. Which is why I am glad I am friends with oncelikeshari, who wrote this, which is kind and beautiful.

I am heartbroken, my own child is within that age group. I hate to think that in those horrible moments their parents couldn't have been their to sooth their fears. I can't stop crying. This is horrible,

I have been crying all day too. But I do like the idea that the kids who lived through it will go on to have lives, and have important days, days of joy, kids of their own. It is good to think on that.

I am the adopted aunt of so many kids and now, adults, and it's good to be reminded that the horror doesn't have to stick, that great things, wonderful people will still grow from those young children. Thank you for that link.

Thank you for the link. I didn't know that about Andy Murray. The photos are wonderful. I have three small boys - one who is just finishing his first year of school and one who'll be starting next year. Being in Australia, I don't ever worry about them being shot at school. I cannot comprehend, have never been able to comprehend, why gun control is such political poison in the USA that it seems hopeless to want things to change with every one of these horrific events.

I can remember exactly where I was when I hear about Port Arthur. I can remember how I heard the news, where I was standing, what the weather was like that day, the numbness I felt walking home. I can still recall many names and details of victims. It was such an exceptional event in Australia. Getting the laws changed seemed an inevitability.
