I have nothing to say or do to bring comfort to those families who lost their babies today. I had nothing to say or do when it happened in Columbine or any other school, either.
But I find myself angry, and wishing desperately that I could.
I want to hold each grieving parent, I want to place flowers at the childrens' graves. I want to go back in time, do something, some ripple, to make this have not happened.
I don't know why this has affected me so deeply. Perhaps because I live with the potential mortality of my children on a daily basis, and school is one of the things that provides me a sense of normalcy in our lives that are in constant upheaval. This event makes me remember that even normal isn't safe sometimes.
Parents, friends, teachers, know my heart and my thoughts are with you. All of you, past and terribly present.
