Moving Forward

The shootings in my hometown a month ago are still weighing heavy on my heart,

& are still so fresh in my mind, that I cannot even believe it's been a month.
It honestly seems like yesterday. I have tried so so so hard to tell all of you how trying,  yet beautiful the days following the tragedy have been.
The amount of love that Newtown has received has been astounding. I am also really looking forward to running in this 5K that will take place on March 23, for the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. It will make me feel like I am doing something, anything, to help.

& then there's the "but"
- But this tragedy hurts me still.
- I still think about this horrible event every single day.
- I worry for my Dad, who works at Sandy Hook School. How could he not be afraid, or have at least one small ounce of fear when he goes to work?
- I'm worried for my cousin.  A 7 year old boy who attends 2nd grade at Sandy Hook School. A boy who played a huge role in my wedding, a boy who had my whole heart from the day he was born.
- My hometown will most likely never, ever be the same, & it sometimes feels eery to be there.
- I sometimes feel guilty for being so upset about this, considering my Dad and cousin are safe and unharmed,  while there are 26 families who are dealing with immense  grief every single day.
We still need prayers.
Today, I guest posted over at Christina's blog about this very topic. Check it out here.
