I've been struggling to put into words, how much heart break yesterdays news caused my mama heart. My condolences go out to every single soul that has been affected by the Silver Rail Elementary School shooting 🕊
I've never mentioned this to the community of Madras/Jefferson County, that I also make arrangements and deliver, for both Deschutes County and Crook County. I have driven to all ends of Bend, to make deliveries for their community, and I've lived in Central Oregon my whole life. So, yesterdays news really hit me hard. I followed the news from the moment it broke, all the way till I was too tired to stay awake last night.
As a mother myself, I was beyond worried about my own child.
When the news included the ages, that's when I felt the most pain in my heart. My heart aches for the parents who lost their babies.
I remember my child at 5.
I remember my child at 7.
I remember my child at 8.
I remember my child at 11.
These were someone's babies. I cannot fathom what the families are going through right now. I am glad that their community has rallied to help each family. These families will need all the love and support they can get in this very very difficult time
Please. Please please. Golden Rule everyone, we ALL learned it in school.
"Treat others as you would like to be treated."
We should NOT be experiencing these things. At. All.
Stay safe everyone. Hug your loved ones tight. And may we all find peace.
🕊🕊🕊🕊
