Why??

Why??? That is the question that keeps ringing in my head today.  Why did someone feel the need to take the life of others? Why did someone go in to a place where children should feel safe, and take their lives? Why should these families have to suffer at Christmas thanks to the cowardly act of someone else? WHY?

As I sat in my classroom reading the reports of this horrific shooting today I was thankful that my students were safe.  I was thankful that my children were happily enjoying the Christmas festivities at their school.  I was thankful that even though the students make me mad as fire some days, that they were safely enjoying movies and time with friends today.

So tonight I will hug my babies a little tighter and pray for the family and friends of the victims in CT.  I will also pray for all students and employees of the school and the terror that they will never be able to forget.
