Thinking about what happened makes me feel so useless, angry and heartbroken. The thought of losing my son to something, anything....I don't know how to put it into words.
There are so many people out there that have already written much more profound and moving blogs about this. I thought I would just share some of them with you.
I am Adam Lanza's Mother

My corner of world
This past weekend the cub scout meeting was held at my house. All the boys were playing tag except one. He wandered around in a circle with a lego to his face mumbling. I tried to engage him in conversation and he would not meet my eyes. My first impulse (which is wrong) led me to think he was one of "those" kids, someone else's problem who will end up in trouble all the time for not paying attention. Then I thought about the first blog link I posted above (I think he may have Asperger's) and made sure he got his derby car cut since his guardian dropped him off and no one was really looking out for him. After I had cut his pinewood derby car he did thank me which surprised me, I wasn't expecting it and half the other boys didn't even bother.
If I hadn't read that blog I would have probably gone with my first impulse, I am glad I didn't and in the future I am going to go out of my way during cub scout meetings to help him out if I can. This should be something everyone does, friends, family, neighbors, community and our government. We must stop being so focused on just ourselves and our own little world. If we don't, at sometime it will implode.
Pray for the victims families and be grateful for all you have this day and season together.
Something to warm your heart.
Moments that restored our faith in humanity this year
