Atomic
The book I’m reading has an account of the atomic bombs being dropped on Japan during WW2. It was very descriptive and horrifing. There was no where to hide. Some went into the water but the smoke choked the person when he came up for air. What gripped me the most was parents not being able to protect their children.
It made yesterday so real as I watched the raw footage of the Omaho school shooting. A mother was talking to her daughter on her cell phone. The daughter was in the school on the floor in the cafeteria. “Mom, get me out of here” was her cry. The mother was crying, claiming to be helpless towards helping her daughter.
There is nothing more precious than a parent and a child relationship.
Do you have any stories of when you protected your child?I plan on having a insipid day.

I’ve seen the headlines about the Omaha shooting on Roadrunner home site. This is madness! It’s getting so bad. It’s almost as though people are possessed. It is so sad for these children to have to experience these horrors. I probably have stories, but my children were never exposed to anything close to the Omaha situation. ~~Blessings & Prayers
@DonnaLou - The news was reporting 3 shootings at the same time. It was so weird. Omaha is not that far from here. Violence is hitting home.
