The hardest time...




 
After such a national horror, it is hard to know how to post...

It is...  It is...  It is...

Some of us have posts scheduled to post, ahead of time, and post-they-did.

Some of us have posted a form of our sadness, at this horror.

Some of us are commenting, and some are not.

But there is always tomorrow...  

How do we go on, in Pretty Blog Land, tomorrow?  

At this lovely and happy Time of Year?

Each of us will reply to that question, in our own way.  

I can only speak, for myself.
 
I feel that we need to know that it is right/and/proper even, to go on.  For us to dull our Christmas Time, will not help the survivors.  It will only add to the sadness of the world, at large.

I will be grateful to all who keep on posting/commenting.  Sharing, and putting more gladness/happiness, out into the world...  Even as we grieve for, and with, and send healing energy and prayers to those, left behind by tragedy.  

Peace be with you...

My heart goes out to those parents. I told my hubby many of them probably have presents hidden in the closet that will now never be delivered. I just couldn't imagine the pain.

Dearest Auntie,

Yesterday certainly was a horrific day in history and although terrible at any time of year, it happening just before Christmas like this makes it that much worse. My heart goes out to all those families, life will never be the same for any of them. It breaks my heart that so many young lives were taken needlessly but I've always believed that there's a reason for everything that happens, even if it's hard to understand and accept. This Christmas, I think more of us will hold our families closer and tighter and tell them how much we love them. xoxo

I came here to comment and wrote a few lines, but ended up deleting it all. It's hard to know what to say, I'm just so sad.......

Dear Auntie, it is hard to find happiness right now but I agree we have to go on. I decorated my tree today and found happiness and memories in all the ornaments. But a part of me has those mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, grandmothers and grandfathers on my mind all the time. I can't begin to imagine what Christmas will be for them this year. To lose a child any time of the year is the hardest thing in the world. To lose a child in this season when children are so joyous is unbearably hard to deal with. I cannot begin to know how these poor people will deal with this. I am brokenhearted for them.

The pain is with us even as we continue in life......such sorrow and sadness. I pray....even as I listen to the horror of all of this. Please, God, comfort all those who have lost so much.....hear our prayers.....

We were up at Happy Trails and didn't hear any news and so didn't know about the terribly sad news till we got home. So sad.
