Christmas and the Holiday Season is spending time with our loved ones. I Heart the Mart is a site designed to help you save money so naturally there is a lot of focus on the gift giving side. As the father of seven children, I cannot in good conscience bring myself to look for deals or think about shopping after learning about the horrific tragedy that happened today to all of those beautiful children in Connecticut.
We pulled our kids out of school, not because we had any fear for their safety but because mine and Tiffany’s souls just physically hurt over what those parents must be going through. We wanted to hold our kids and just take some time to be with them. We talked with our older kids about what happened and about how to have a plan wherever they are to make sure they are safe. We decided not to talk to our little kids, its bad enough that we felt like we had to talk to the older ones. We didn’t want them to be afraid of going to school or anywhere else. Crazy or evil can happen anywhere.
In lieu of going on a long rant of what is wrong with America and all of these absolute COWARDS that can’t function in our over medicated society without everything going their way and never learning to deal with disappointment or hurt…. (stopping myself now)
I will just tell you how much I love each one of you and appreciate you. Please say a prayer or give a moment of silence for the victims of the horrific tragedy and let them know that we are thinking about them. Take some small comfort in the fact all of those innocent children are safe now in Heaven and bless the parents and survivors that they will be able to endure through the unimaginable suffering that they must be going through.
I want you to turn your computer off now and go hug someone you love and really start or continue to think about what is important this Holiday Season.
