Ever since my girls were babies, I have loved tucking them in at night knowing they would soon close their eyes and sleep peacefully. I love to watch them sleeping...happy, content, warm, and safe.
But, the last few nights have been anything but that. As I kiss them good night and tuck them into their beds I have an uneasy feeling of worry. I want to pick them up and carry them into my bed. I want their little faces to be right next to mine. I want to be able to protect them at night.
The rational part of me knows that they ARE safe in bed. That they WILL have a peaceful night's sleep. But, that fearful and scared part of me feels uneasy about being in my own home.
The reason for all of this fear lies in the hands of someone who has hurt a member of our community and killed two people. I pray all day long that this animal will be found and I pray it will be soon.
Please say a prayer for the victims and the young survivors of this horrible crime.
