What 20 Angels taught me...

My heart breaks for every family that experienced the devastating loss of Friday's tragic events. I cannot imagine the grief of loosing a child. My heart cannot comprehend the depth of losing a child to such horrible, unimaginable act of violence. When my own 8 year old stepped off the bus, I covered him with all the love I have.

Those 20 beautiful Angels that I have never met, have taught me several things. They have taught me that horrible things happen that make no sense. They have taught me that God is everywhere, even in the midst of  pure evil. They have taught me that it is my job (now more than ever) to teach my children that they MUST love everyone and that they ARE loved. Always. They have taught me that their teachers will love them just as I do. For that I am truly thankful.

I pray for comfort  for these families as they grieve. It is all I can do. I pray that there are Angels always surrounding my children and keeping them under the protection of their wings. I pray that I do better for them. That I am slow to anger and quick to love. That I remember God has given them to me for no specified time and that He has entrusted me with them. I pray that I do not disappoint Him or fail them.
