Laney and I are heartbroken as we heard the news about the elementary school children who have lost their lives in Connecticut. Our prayers go to the parents of these children. I also feel heartache for the teachers who lost their lives. As a former school teacher this is very sad news.
I always felt it was my responsibility to protect my students while they were in the classroom. The children and parents always think of school as being a safe place. Sometimes no matter what we do tragedy happens, but we need to do something about the gun control in this country. No child or teacher should have to die at the hands of a gunman. As a teacher and a nurse I beg the government to take a long hard look at the gun laws and help protect the innocence of our children.
Monday morning it will be somber as I enter the school building where I spend my time reading to children. I pray and hope that we all remain safe and in god's hands. Please take time to say a prayer for all the victims and hug your own children. Life is precious!
