I'm still a little teary right now. I was so busy today at work that the first I heard of the terror wrecked upon small town America today was during a break in during my NPR's stations news update just before I settled in to listen to Fresh Air.
I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I do not personally know any of the victims, I have almost zero connection to any of the people involved in this national tragedy. But yet because of the victims age, as a parent I feel a somewhat transcendent connection.
I got home today and I had to hug my six year old just a little longer today
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected by today's horrific events.
Below I am going to rant, its not going to be pretty so don't click through unless you want a scathing rant on gun control in this nation.
