A lot has happened in this world since my last blog post. It is hard not to focus on the crazy cruel world we are living in and instantly want to squeeze my babies a little tighter. Give them extra chocolate in their chocolate milk. Buy them another tractor. Rock them to sleep. Watch them sleep.
How do we let these babies out of our site and into a world where people kill innocent children for no reason? Yes, the risk is larger that Eli and Sam will be eaten by sharks or struck by lightning than shot in their school. But the fear is still there. A fear that we never dreamt of as we practiced tornado drills in the hallways of St. Matthews grade school. Home schooling seems better and better , but then I know I can't protect them from everything. There will still be sporting events, movies, malls. I can't hide them in the bubble of our home forever. Oh, but id like to.
"When the world feels too loud, we must be quiet. When the world feels
too violent, we must be peaceful. When the world seems evil, we must be
good. ... Pray for Peace, People Everywhere." - momastery
when you spend all day surrounded by these two, and just these two, it's hard to believe all this evil is really going on around us.
I can't imagine losing your baby, 2 days old, 6 years old, 40 years old.
I hope I never live a DAY without them.
