A Page in Time

My heart goes out to all the families that have been touched by the terrible shooting in Colorado.  When the news first started reaching us here, I was in such disbelief.  Who would think it was dangerous to go to the movies?  My first thought, even though we are not in Colorado, was that my son was asking to go to the midnight showing of Batman here in MA and I would not let him.  How many other Mom's are right now thinking "why did I let him/her go?" 

Hearing more about the incident, how the shooter had been planning this for months, buying so much ammunition to start a mini war, Why did he bother with the body gear?  Did he think he would walk away from this and live a normal life? 

Hearing about the young lives of the victims,  the long road of recovery for people in the hospitals, the stories and dreams of lives cut down so short.

We should not live in fear of going to school or to a movie theater or anywhere for that matter. 

Live every day as it may be your last...

Do what you want to do every chance you get...

Dance like no one is watching you...

Sing out loud if this makes you happy...

Tell the people you love how special they are every day...

Do not be afraid to do the things you love.
