Another school shooting. At a community college in Oregon

All I can say is I am absolutely disgusted with this world.

It is sickening and terrifying.

Ever since Sandy Hook, every.single.morning since then, I have said a prayer when I give my son over to his bus, and I have watched him get on the bus every.single day since Sandy Hook. I used to always watch him, but I was also putting my shoes on, looking for my phone, paying attention to the dog, I was multitasking trying to get out the door for work.

Not anymore.....I stop and watch him get on the bus, every morning, just in case, in case its the last time I ever see him. What kind of way is that to have to live? With the world today and the statistic above, you just never know.

I said after Sandy Hook, that I would cherish every morning and every night and I kept that word to myself. Everynight, even if I dont have it in me, even if I dont want to, I sing one more song if they ask for it, I rub their back a little longer if they ask for it. I stopped yelling in the morning when we are rushing to get out the door bc I dont want that to be the last interaction I have. You know what, we miss the bus now sometimes, and you know what we get instead, a nice walk down the street together, just talking while I walk him to school.

Its an awful way to have to think.

I've been the exact same way. It is a horrible way to have to think, but it has reinforced to me just how scary and fragile life is. I was so disturbed by Sandy Hook and shed so many tears over it. I cannot begin to imagine how the parents of the victims felt. It hurts my heart when I think about it.

You know what's sad, tragic, and scary? No matter what we do, who we vote in, and how long we march, the bad guys always find a way to get a gun. It's never by-the-book. So much for gun laws

I vowed the same things to myself after Sandy Hook. Before we leave for the bus stop I make sure I get 5 minutes of holding my daughter on my lap or some extra tickles and laughs. I get a few kisses at the bus stop and always whisper in her ear mommy loves you. I blow kisses to her as the bus pulls away. I watch her little face until the very last second as the bus pulls away.

It scares me to think about the things that could happen. I'm not very religious but I say a little pray that they will stay safe. I wish this world will change. People are some numb to this violence its becoming a norm. Its so incredibly sad.

Ugh, I do the same thing. I watch his face until the bus pulls away. I consciously try to commit every step to the bus, the wave he gives out the bus window when it pulls away, his face, all to memory......just in case.

There are just so many things wrong with this from the fact that 13 innocent people lost their lives at school and almost no one batted an eye to the fact that people are still fighting the ideas of tougher gun laws. I just don't get it. I know criminals will find a way and there are responsible gun owners but when we live in a world where mothers worry about putting their child on a bus to school something has to change. We need tougher gun laws and better mental health options for those that need help.

I couldn't agree more.
