Tears

It is difficult to express my feelings after the events of Friday.  We were all touched by what happened. I spent the weekend glued to my television trying to comprehend. On Monday, I walked into my school and wanted to hug every single child. We will never be the same again.

  1. An interesting thought: "We will never be the same again"..."I wanted to hug every single child". And the Good that comes out of Evil can prevail.

  2. Yes, it is good that what came out was wanting to hug the children! So many need those hugs- sometimes a real hug, but also what we teachers can give more every day, a hug of warm, encouraging words.

  3. You are braver than I am. I had such trouble watching TV, plus I didn't want my daughter to hear it so I mostly stuck with online media. Still not easy. We are all broken from Friday's events.

  4. I'm so frustrated - caught between wanting to shelter everyone and feeling upset that we have to be so careful. You are right - we will never be the same again.
