Dear Peanut & Sweetface,
Yesterday something horrible happened in our World. Not here in our town, but another far away. Senseless violence. There is no reason or way to understand it. But maybe you will remember being loved on and hugged tighter. Parents everywhere grieved for families we don't know. It's all we know to do. Nothing will fix it. There is no house to re-build, no town to put back together.
God wins. It's all the comfort I can grasp right now. He will make all things right. I wish it were happening right now, but it will happen when it is supposed to. I wish every person would feel for their neighbors. You don't have to like someone, but you do have to be respectful.
I love you boys. It breaks my heart to send you somewhere without me. I think that if something were to every happen, I want to be there too. I could not bear to hear that you are not coming home. Please be safe. Please tell me or your dad or someone if life becomes too much for you. We will help in whatever way we can.
Love,
Mom
