The Biggest Burden we Carry as Parents!

Good Morning all,

You know I started this blog for all housewives to be open and honest about everyday life. I was picturing my blog to be funny and sometimes serious but with some humor. I apologies in advance for this post being so sad and serious but it is on my mind so I came here to write what I am feeling.

If you have not notice yet it is about 12:45 am, I cannot sleep. It has been a while since I have had a night where I am up after a nightmare and couldn't go back to sleep within a half hour.

Well here it goes our biggest burden in my opinion is keeping our children SAFE!!! I was half a sleep when the world news came on and they talked about the little girl Sandra.
Oh what a beautiful happy little girl, that was just innocently skipping down the road where she lived. That is the last time she was seen by anyone that loved her, the last time any of her friends saw her or even strangers saw her alive! EXCEPT for the person that took her life from this world!!!!! This person just took a little girl that had her whole life ahead of her, her hopes and dreams gone. Her parents hopes and dreams for her gone and now her parents life will never ever be the same again and they have to live with the worst loss in the world!!!

My heart is breaking right now for her family and friends. For her whole community, everyone stepped up for approx. 10 days looking for her hoping and praying that they would find her alive.
I cannot phathom or even imagine what these parents are going to have to bare now. Their worst fear just became a reality. Don't get me wrong I know it is happening everyday numerous times a day to parents and I am thinking about them also. But this one just hit me because it is so public and it is fresh in my mind I just had a horrible nightmare about it!!! I am praying for Sandra's family and also to all the families that have lost a child or love one.

Praying is the only thing we can do at all times for our childrens safety and for all the other children around us and for all parents. But we can also be aware of our surroundings, we cannot be comfortable we have to be alert of anything and everything going on around our children. Us parents need to stick together we see something that we don't feel comfortable about but it is not our child we cannot just let it slide, I know it is hard sometimes to go into someone's business but we have to do it. Trust me I have been slackful on and off with my children but I am outside with them I just don't know if I have stayed as alert as I could be.

Of course I am not saying we should be living in fear or be paranoid, but I am saying it is nothing like when alot of us were little and we could go outside by ourselves and our parents wouldn't have to worry as much. Unfortunatly we are not it that world anymore and their are people out in our world today taking our children, our flesh and blood, our lives away from us and we have to do all that we can to stop them. Before anyone says anything I am not saying that Sandra's parents or any other parent that has had a child taken wasn't doing everything they could I wouldn't ever say that or suggest that I don't even know them personally I just know that it is an unbearable thought of what has happen and it has gotten me really angry, sad, and totally aware of what I can do better for my children and the children surrounding me. This blog is to help me and others when we put our suggestions and opinions on the board.

Like I said earlier these are my feelings and my opinions. I do apologize for this post being so depressing but I really couldn't leave my feelings inside!! I hope I didn't mess up to much on the grammar and spelling it is late at night and I am for surely not perfect so, sorry in advance if something is wrong.

Well I am off to try and go back to sleep!
God Bless you all.
