Such sadness
Today is an example of how much the world can go horrifically wrong.
You get up, you go to the grocery store to get some milk, you see your friend, a United States Representative is meeting with constituents, and you stop by to say hello.
And then it’s all over.
You win a seat on your school student counsel and are thilled to meet a real life role model and to tell her how excited you are to begin your political career.
And the rest of us are left to wonder what the hell happened. We’re frightened. We’re angry. We’re confused. I can’t get over that this atrocity happened in my town. I am filled with such sorrow for the families. I don’t know what to tell my children. I’ve been glued to the television all day trying to keep hold of my emotions.
The true sadness – at least for me – is that I suspect nothing will change.
What a world.
Amylynn, thanks for your comment on my post. I was horrified to learn that our son Keil was in Safeway when the shooting started. He didn’t want to tell me where he was when I called him, because he thought I might have a heart attack.
My first thought was to put the house on the market and move. Then I realized that there was no where to go.
We just have to do the best we can. Please write us more steamy novels to take our minds off the real world!!
