Heavy Heart
The web is being blown up by all the well wishes, prayers and heart felt thoughts to the families of all the tragedies across the country in the last couple weeks. Today well, it rocked me. Standing in the grocery line hearing people chit chat about "kids getting shot." I hate to admit it but at first I thought it was a normal conversation due to the area I was in. As I got into the car I checked the news and there it was! Children slain in an elementary school!!!
There is nothing that I can say that any person has thought, felt or spoken about. How sad it is that this is something that we now have to think about? I sit here feeling my little baby move about in my tummy and I already worry the "what ifs?" It is pretty surreal, all of it. We all seems to live in our own little worlds and only seem to poke our heads up when the world around us is shattered. The perfection of what we set up in our lives is broken down and shattered by sick sick people. So quickly everything gets shoved in our faces. Reality is harsh and painful. It is something that we, I mean all families, know is there but always seems further away than our front door.
Today gives me more reasons to think the way I do. I always tell my friends and family I love them before we part ways. A tight hug and a well wish as we travel on...some may think it is silly...I will keep doing it because one day terror and fear may show up in my reality...
My heart is heavy for all the families and loved ones affected by the tragedies over the last couple weeks.
