I remember the day when the Sandy Hook shooting happened like it was yesterday. I remember dropping my daughter off at daycare and heading to work. I gave her my usual hug and kiss and told her I loved her and then went to work. I remember being at work and not feeling well, so I asked my boss if I could leave early. I left work early, and instead of getting my daughter, I went home. I wanted to take a little nap before I had to pick her up at my usual time. I was laying in bed and relaxing. I was on my phone and checking out Facebook when someone posted about the Sandy Hook shootings.
Upon reading that, I went to read the news of what happened. When I heard someone went on a shooting spree and killed those little innocent babies, my heart broke. My heart breaks for those families who lost their little angels so soon. It's heart breaking to hear when children go too soon and especially when it is so near Christmas. Imagine those parents who were ready to celebrate Christmas with their kids and now they will never get to. I still get a teary eyed when I think of those little children. Upon reading the sad news, I got out of bed and put my shoes on and went to get my daughter. I didn't want her in daycare. I wanted her to be with me and in my arms so I could hold her closer and smother her little face with kisses.
Three years later, I still smother her with kisses and tell her at least a hundred times in a day that I love her. She is my little miracle baby and I love her to no end. I am so grateful God chose me to be her mother. I never knew I could love someone so much.
Please hold your children, fur-babies, anyone a little longer today.
