Like everyone else across the country and no doubt caring people around the entire world, my heart is breaking for the families of all the sweet & gentle souls lost in the tragic incident in Connecticut last Friday. When something this unspeakable happens we instinctively search for comfort by looking for answers but come away with nothing. We have so much we want to say, but there are no words. Just our tears, aching hearts and prayers. I pray for the families and entire community of Newtown to find some strength and comfort in the massive outpouring of love we are sending and know they are profoundly not alone their mourning.
May the Universe hear our collective cry for more kindness, acceptance and love amongst us and may we all be listening as well.
Beautifully said. If only the last sentence could be part of our DNA worldwide.

Eloquently said by an elegant lady.

Thank you slim, beautifully expressed.
Really well said. Thank you. They are in my prayers…
I could not have said it better Slim. Jesus said -” Suffer little children to come unto me”
So well said. Thank you, Slim. To love.
Yes beautifully expressed Slim.
I was listening to some little kids sing carols at lunch time and I thought how sweet then I remembered those massacred kids and I got all teary and had to leave.
In Australia, no one has guns, except maybe the police and some farmers. It is hard to understand and come to terms with it all.
I always think the biggest tragedy in life is to lose a child. How awful for the families.

Namaste.
There are no words that can express this sadness……only prayer.
Amen to your eloquent words. I have cried for those families and lifted them up in prayer. And now, I want – need – to DO something with whatever voice I have. Just as people were motivated to serve after 9/11, I want to find a way to be a part of an answer so this cannot ever happen again in this country. I don’t exactly know what or how, but this is enough. Tomorrow it begins with a call to my congressman, be it to address better mental health funding/help, or the weapons issues. As one victim’s amazing mom said tonight, “I will now be Gracie’s {age: 7} voice. I feel fearless. I will never feel any pain greater than I do right now. I’m going to take on the world for our Gracie-girl, for I myself have nothing to lose, and everything to gain”
To lose a child….so poignant.
They are not to die before us.
Perfectly said, and beautifully written. Let us unite as a nation to make it impossible for such carnage to happen again.
Your French-English family is with you….XXX
Hi Slim, Amen to your last sentence, if only… I can’t fathom what the families are going through right now, it doesn’t make sense. Bless all of their hearts. Thank you!
Dear Slim,
so many of us are feeling the same way and want to prevent these tragedies. My love and prayers are with all of the families.
Love and Hugs

Thanks Slim. The moments spent reading your thoughts makes me feel better. bd
You write so beautifully…..Shalom
Well said. It is hard as we are all prepping for a joyous and happy holiday, but no doubt those innocent victims and their grieving families are very much on our minds. May God help light the dark path they are on…….thanks for this tribute.
beautifully said, Slim. Praying for Peace on Earth.
Amen.
This will be a tough Christmas for everyone, particularly the parents of those little children. I think we have finally hit a soft spot in the collective heart of this nation and hopefully we have learned that somethings needs to be done now to protect our children.. Hopefully. Let’s not forget what happened in Newtown. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
