Great Sorrow in CT

It's been a minute since I've post, things have been so great, hectic, busy, sad, you name it. There was a hostile take-over of the spare room to turn into my personal sewing space, with a work center that will convert into a single size bed (pictures to follow). That took some planning and figuring out and some work to get done. There was hurricane Sandy and the mandatory evacuation of my neighborhood, staying at the emergency shelter, me and my daughter working in the kitchen through lunch and dinner shift. We fared well, we still pray for the people in New York and New Jersey who are still suffering.

And now this madness in Newtown. Complete and utter MADNESS. Why? My heart and prayers go out to those parents that kissed their children goodbye this morning not knowing that would be the last time. This is devastating. I don't think there has been a school shooting in New England, at least not in CT. As a parent of a child in a Connecticut school, how do we ease their fears in returning to classes in the coming weeks? 

I pray for those parents in Newtown. And I pray for the extended families and neighbors that will be helping them through in the coming days and months.
