Sandy Hook. I have cried and cried this weekend for the children of Sandy Hook. I’ve cried for the teachers and the parents and the survivors and the community of Newtown.
It is enough to make you feel helpless.
This weekend, in between Girl Scouts and soccer games and doctoring colds I have loved my children. Yes, I always love my kids but this weekend I didn’t take any moment with my children for granted. I hugged them a little more often and a little tighter.
That is what Sandy Hook has given me; a reminder that my children are a gift.
As I hugged my five-year-old Friday afternoon, she exclaimed, “Mama! You’re hugging me too tight!” in between squeals of laughter.
No, I’m not, baby girl. No I’m not.
UPDATE: A commenter left the following message that I wanted to share for any who might be interested. Thanks again, http://robakers.wordpress.com for sharing this!
Thank you for your comments. My kids said the same thing…too hard daddy!
I believe that the pen is mightier than the sword. Several bloggers are encouraging others to send cards and letters to the school. Here is the address:
The school’s address is: Sandy Hook Elementary School 12 Dickenson Drive Newtown, CT 06482
God Bless.
The Great Mama Experiment 
I too have heard the “Mommmmmmmmm, stopppppppp” squeal from my Little Man this weekend. I think Sandy Hook was a huge wake up call, especially for parents, and hopefully for American society as a whole. A hug from one mom to another.
Thanks. I think we all need all the hugs we can get right now.
