Today, a day few will forget, something terrible happened. Today a man took the life of 20 babies. Twenty children under the age of 10 and six adults who chose to defend those children. This is inexcusable.
As I lay here in bed, praying for the families who will never hold their babies again, I wonder, is this country completely lost? When did we start teaching our children that it is ok to shoot up a school if we are angry or “disturbed”. When did values and love and integrity go out the window? When did doing the right thing become wrong? I was growing up 20 years ago and I know my momma and daddy didn’t teach me that. I knew better, and still do. IF, and it is a big IF, I ever decide to have children, I will teach them everything this man didn’t know or have or care about.
I am sickened and saddened by what happened today. I do not think tighter gun control is the answer. I think parents teaching their children right from wrong is the answer. Teaching children that bullying and making fun of others is wrong. That is the answer. Please people, I don’t know if I can stand to see another day like today.
Over the next few day, I will be making cookies for children. Not any particular child. Just children in general. And I will love and kiss the babies in my life as I wonder how anyone could look at a classroom full of children and kill them? Why is this acceptable in the eyes of some?

Hi Casey, I’m so disturbed to hear what happened in CT. I’ve been holding my children close since, something those poor families will never get to do again.
My heart breaks for those families. I just don’t understand it, the children were only 6 and 7. The boy must’ve been very mentally disturbed!
I hope you and your family are well? Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year. How are you getting on with your Silpat?
