I am from newtown, CT. I lived across the street from the elemantary school. I walk there daily. My neice and nephew attend there all my friends kids attend there, I have since moved to the next ton over. My family is home safe, I do not want to hear the names of the lost ones as I am sure to know them or there families I picked my kids up from school and could not hold the tears back. They have no clue about the world and life ahead of them, scares the hell out of me. But I do know I have to be strong and over to teach them the ways. Prayers to all affected.
You also have my prayers along with the victims and their families .... the twenty y/o man who did this obviously had a very troubled soul ... it's just one more reason for us to maintain a fit spiritual condition ...

Horrible thins happen, you just never expect them to happen so lse to home.......so to follow up on my what ifs.....what if i still lived in town, my kids would have been there! I feel sad and horrible saying this but for some weird reason I have a huge weight lifted of my shoulders, I don't have a worry worth worrying about, my problems are petty and I wish all others could feel the same way during this time. I know that may have came off the wrong way, I'm not the best with words.
I think that's a pretty healthy reaction. I'm not personally connected to this tragedy, and my prayers went from ones focused on my own 'problems' to everyone touched by this event immediately upon hearing of it, and have remained with them since. I'm also very happy that you're own children are ok. But gosh, it's difficult to feel sympathy for the, as pappy pointed out, sick soul responsible.
I've been avoiding watching the news, I just don't want to hear about it, it's just crazy. Flipper don't get too wrung out about this, "first things first".
Aloha ((((flipper)))) happy for you that you are detached from it and compassionate for the victims. What a merry-go-round of thoughts and emotions and the power that comes with the assurance that no matter what "God is". I've got thoughts and awarenessess about this and they don't do any good for you or those you are the victims; alive or passed. I accept and pray and let go and let God...over and over.
