What a senseless world. 
The pure evil in this world scares me sometimes.
Like why????
How can someone's soul be that black and evil?? How?
It's very very scary
The fact that so many people on this thread, and in general, have a pit in their stomach and try to remember every detail of their kid before putting them on the school bus each morning, just in case... There are no words for what a horrible world we live in.
I am the same way when I put my kids on the bus. I make sure that I tell them I love them and wave to them until the bus pulls away. I have such school shooting anxiety.

I posted recently about one of these disgusting scum of the earth nutjobs getting arrested for making death threats to one of the fathers of these children for "perpetuating a hoax". This right here is what is wrong with the world. There is a dire need for care of the mentally ill.

I blacked out on someone last year who commented it was a hoax. I don't understand how people can be so heartless.

I almost did too - but then I stopped myself and realized this dude was fing crazy. I told him to stop talking to me and walk away from me before I did something that would send me to jail.

Re: 4 years
I hate this day. I get so worked up about it for days leading up to it. I cannot understand the pure evil that happened on that day. I read this Washington Post article today about Daniels parents that seriously tore me apart. Those poor sweet babies. Dear God why? Why is there such evil?
That day changed me forever. This morning I was so in tune to everything my 6 year old said before leaving for school. I even told my dh maybe I should just keep her home but my dh talked me into letting her go. We kissed her so many extra times and told her how much we loved her over and over again. I prayed today as I do everyday that as she blows me a kiss on the bus that she will return safe to me. I hate that we have to live in fear sending our children to school.
If you can stomach it try to read this article. They deserve to be remembered and they deservse common sense gun laws.

Re: 4 years
I didnt see much coverage on this yesterday..has the world forgotten?
I have to say some days I have really dark thoughts about the what ifs?? DS is my ONLY child. I cannot have any more babies. I think of things that could take him from me and then im left with nothing. I dont know how those parents get up and get through the day b/c honestly I'd rather be dead.
DS is in first grade now like most of those kids.
I have scenarios in my head of someone coming to my son's school and doing the same thing. Even if we have rough mornings, I always walk him to the school door, give him a kiss and tell him I love him and to be a good boy.

Yes this is why I can't think of this too hard or too much or think about it head on, so to speak.
I go to dark places too.
And you right, how the eff do you go on after something like this? I mean, losing a child is hard enough- to a disease or an accident- but to lose them in this way. This senseless, violent, evil way...I'd be locked up in an institution heavily medicated for the rest of my life.
I'm not strong enough for that. No way.

Yep, me too. I am right there with both of you.
I would be in the padded cell next door.

Same here, I always have such a heavy heart on 12/14 and I feel like it sends me down a dark road. I had a hard time keeping it together yesterday because I kept focusing on negative things, like my mom's death and the children in Aleppo. I feel better today.

Re: 4 years

This still haunts me to this day.
Every year on the 14th, I do Random Acts of Kindness in their memory. I go to Dunkin, I buy 20 $5 gift cards. I had them out to people on line and in the parking lot until they are gone. They each gets a little note....."Darkness will not drive out darkness, only light can do that" - MLK. Please accept this Random Act of Kindness in memory of Sandy Hook angel ______________ (and I write in one of their names.). All I ask in return is that you pay this forward in their honor."
I said 4 years ago that this will forever haunt me and it does. It has changed our morning routine. We have a strict no yelling rule, bc what if its the last time I speak to them. If we are running late, its fine, if we miss the bus, I just drive them. No yelling. It changed the words I say when they leave, there is always an extra hug and kiss. I also watch them get on the bus and burn that image into my mind, just in case. I can be in the middle of blow drying my hair, and I stop what I am doing and watch them get on that bus, every step, every item of clothing, where they sat, etc.
At night, even if I have nothing left to give, I will sing an extra song if they ask, I give them an extra kiss, I read an extra story if they want.I dont get mad if they get out of bed for the fourteenth time bc what if its the last time.......I tuck them back in with a smile.
I will never forget the day it happened, and I picked up my son who was in K from aftercare at the time and I grabbed him and SOBBED in the middle of the school cafeteria, SOBBED and held him. The aftercare ladies cried with me. I promised to myself in that moment that I will give every night and every morning the best me, bc what if.........and I have. I fail ALL the time during the day, but not in the morning and not at night. Not during my first and last chance, just in case.
That day shook me to my core and changed me as a mother.
I pray for these families every single night, but especially tonight as its the night they last kissed their babies goodnight.
God bless those angels and their families.
Thank you for this. It's a wonderful reminder, esp as I'm having a bit of a hard time right now. The days are a whirlwind, the mornings a blur as we rush to get the kids ready, run out of the house to make trains, and beat rush hour traffic. As I lose patience with my littles while they hang on me, fight, and don't let me get anything done. As my house is a wreck and I don't have two minutes for myself or to connect with my husband. I know these days will quickly pass, and there will be new challenges, but I will hold on to them as tightly as I can for as long as they'll let me.

I have heard a lot of positive reviews about the Newtown documentary. I have been afraid to watch it, but I feel like I need to. I can't find it on Netflix, though. A PP said that there was one?

When it happened both my dd and nephew Were in kindergarten. I could not watch any of the coverage. It made me sob uncontrollably. Even now I can't look. I force myself to read the names because they should not die in vain.

When this happened I was in a fog, my father passed 2 days before. Even now when I think about this insanity, I don't think I have a full grasp. It's just too horrible.
Why couldn't that deranged rabid dog have just offed himself. JUST HIMSELF!!!!!
