It has been a hard week with the last 24 or more hours being the HARDEST. I’m thankful for the break I took from work several months ago and I am thankful that I decided to go part time. It gave me a chance to clear my head from 15 years of social work. I think it also helped me be able to hear what I heard yesterday. The people that I have had to get involved with this situation have all said they felt sick to their stomach. Agreed! It wasn’t until today that my emotions started to surface. I don’t have the ability to wrap my mind around EVIL. I will never understand the things people do to hurt the innocent.
I went out to dinner tonight and, as always, was offered words of encouragement and given space to process. On my drive home, these two songs played, and I felt my body relax and start releasing the tension I was feeling. Say some prayers for these kiddos.
