I'm in VA and the TV is covered with news reports...there are 22 confirmed dead and numerous others injured...there were actually two shootings that occured, both in residential dorm areas on campus...someone called 911 when the shooting started in the one resident hall and two hours later, while police were still on campus dealing with the first incident, another 911 call was placed that there were additional shootings going on at another resident hall. Can you imagine?? Ugh.

Now that I'm a mother, everything has changed for me when I hear stories like this. I used to just think "oh how senseless" or "oh how tragic"...but now, now I think "oh my god, what if that were my kid". I can't watch stories like this without getting this horrid sensation in the pit of my stomach. It terrifies me now, unlike it ever did before motherhood came over me. I ache for the person who is shooting, wondering what on earth could be so bad in their lives/in their heads to make them choose such violence...I weep for the kids who were killed, their lives ended when they were just barely more than children. And I feel a tingling horror for the parents...for the parents of the shooters and the victims alike...because I cannot IMAGINE what it would feel like to get a call saying your child was involved in something like that. I cannot imagine.

It just makes me want to hold Ellie tighter. Sometimes she is so hard to take care of and I'm so exhausted...and sometimes I get so frustrated and overwhelmed...but my god, my god, this is the EASY part I think. I want her to stay little, stay small enough that all I have to do is pick her up and kiss her better. Before I know it, she's going to be "out there"...she's going to be away from me and vulnerable to all these things that happen...ugh. It's a scary world we live in. I have no answers, no epiphany on how to deal with it...I'm just saying that I really feel when I hear these stories now that I'm a mother, don't you?
