I heard silent night played on the radio tonight right after a discussion about today's events. My heart broke and my eyes teared and the words of the song never sounded so strong. I will never again hear the Silent Night of yesterday, from this point forward I will only feel the depth of words established today.
As the mother of a kindergartner and a former Fairfield county Connecticut elementary student myself, the event that took place today will forever resonate deep within my heart and soul. We can not take away the pain that the families touched by this tragedy are feeling, nor can we assume that we are immune to the horrors that exist in the world today... But what we must do is create amazing life moments.
It is time to live with a focus of what it is truly important... The definition of family can be so easily lost in today's hectic lifestyles. Bring back family dinners, game night and family projects. Give back attention, love and patience. You will receive back memories that you can cherish for a lifetime.
