Words can never be meaningful when it comes to the pain a parent feels when the child is sick or in danger. I am not even trying to imagine how life can go on for the Connecticut community who lost so many precious children. I am miles away, but the tragedy hit me so bad.
I thought long before posting such a sad message on Catalina's blog. But somehow, I feel that if she ever reads it when she grows up she needs to know. She needs to know that one night her mom was in very raw pain, thinking that she did not pray enough for her. And that tonight I made this promise to her, to pray for her more often, to pray for things that matter. To pray to The One that can help us.
So tonight I will pray that no other parent has to go through nightmares about their kids. I will pray that each and every single parent can hold a healthy, safe child at night. I will pray that all the angels that went to heaven tonight will find a way to sooth the most imaginable pain their parents suffer.
As for my own little one, I will pray all the prayers that cannot be spoken. Because no human, mortal mind can actually round up a list of things that can be put together to keep a child safe. Only God can guard us. We need help. Let's ask for help and hope we are heard so nobody ever will cry the tears that are cried tonight and in the days to come.
