Peace on earth

I've been spending the past few days really trying to come to terms with this world. Wondering why there is so much evil. When tragedy strikes we all try to pull together and bring whatever good out of it that we can. It's hard to find anything good after last Friday though. My heart aches for those babies and their families, I cannot fathom what their parents are feeling right now. The only thing I could think to do today was to write. I wrote to my girls. I haven't really talked to them much about the incident. They are so young and innocent and I didn't want to take that away from them. They k is that something horrible happened but that they were "safe" as safe as you can be in a world like this anyway. They didn't ask to many questions and until they do I felt that I should leave it at that. I don't want to put unecessary fear in them. So I wrote them a letter for the future that I will share with you. Everything that has happened has really started to sink in and make me realize how short life truly is. I want to make sure my children know how much I love them, and how good the world CAN be.

Dear my sweet beautiful baby girls,

Last Friday something horrible happened in Connecticut. Something unimaginable and every parents worst nightmare. Although I know that unfortunately the world that we currently live in is corrupt, Fridays tragedy was and still is especially hard to come to terms with. Children were involved. Sweet beautiful innocent children just like you. My heart is aching for them and their families. And while there is nothing I can do to take their pain away I pray and hope that someday, somehow they will heal. It's out a real perspective on things for me. It's really show me how quickly life can be take . Every morning we wake we are given another chance. We are given a gift. More time to spend with those we love. More memories to be made. More laughs to be laughed. More playtime. More togetherness. I've tried over the past seven plus years to be the absolute best mom to you girls. I was so young when I became a mother so it's definitely been a challenge. I feel I'm doing an ok job, but I want to do more. I don't want to take a single day spent with you girls for granted. It is up to me to teach you the ways of the world. To tell you about the evil when I see fit and to make sure that no matter what you can always see the good. Because this world can be good. And you two are living proof of that. Everything that is good in this world is YOU. Our children. The children of our world are our future. Stay the way you are, despite Ll the bad you hear. Stay good and our future will be more bright. I hope to god that one day you will witness peace on earth. Until then I hope to give you your own kind of peace and keep your world as safe and good as I can.

Love,
Mom
