did anyone else see this online
and bawl their eyes out?
"it's a small price to pay" 😢😢😢
I'm going to stay away from those blogs.
Words for Wednesday
The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
It could apply to many places in the world, from Syria to Ukraine, and even the US. It's a sad truth.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, although those other places are at war with other countries. America seems to be at war with itself.
DeleteTragic.
ReplyDeletejabblog; very tragic, guns mean more than people? More than children?
DeleteI didn't see it, and don't know whether it makes me sadder or angrier.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; sad, angry and despairing.
Deletesame here. says a lot in just a few lines.
ReplyDeleteSusan kane; it's just so unbelieveably sad.
DeleteIt's just the sad truth.
ReplyDeleteMike; and it shouldn't be!
DeleteNo, I didn't see it. How awful.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe.
Dora; I'm not going to visit that blog again. It's too heartbreaking.
DeleteThere is so much pain on every side, i don't know where to start.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; where to start is a huge problem, since the gun lobby is so huge and it seems their guns and the freedom to use them are far more important than the children.
DeleteYes, small they are. I thought you refer to the last school-shooting in the USA. That is so common by now it does not make it to our news even. Read about it somewhere online.
ReplyDeleteSad and sick. The school I went to, and big Niece now... has turned into a drug-dealer place. Yes, pupils... as dealers.
Being old I can say I had a "good" childhood without such issues. Or I was protected in our little town, who knows (or wants to know).
Iris; yes the last school shooting but also ALL the other shootings that came before and will keep happening. Things were so much different when we were young and at school. When did it all go so wrong?
DeleteI do believe it´s ... the people´s way.
DeleteWe grew up as post-war-generation. Loads of problems, but thankfulness, too, for peace. Now... frustration everywhere? Bad/no jobs? Is that an explanation? I am not sure... Maybe dumbness, too. Or that people do not speak the language of the country they "went in"?
it is terribly sad.
ReplyDeleteJenn Jilks; and how can it be stopped?
DeleteThat is sick....I would stay away from those blogs also. After Nashville, where I live, going through a school shooting last month, it makes it even harder.
ReplyDeletePam; I am very glad I live in Australia. We have violent things happening here, but not on the same scale.
DeleteAmerica's obsession with guns is perverse. I've never understood it.
ReplyDeleteSteve Reed; perverse and getting worse and now they are changing other laws too, undermining the freedoms of women.
DeleteI didn't see it but how sad.
ReplyDeleteMary Kirkland; I cried so much!
