I have a sense of relief for those who have lost loved ones and truly sacrificed during the last ten years. I'm also apprehensive about explaining it all to my children. I'm trying to raise compassionate, responsible human beings. I need to explain what (little) they see in black and white terms 5 and 7 year kids understand. If I ever figure it out, I'll let you know...Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003025311356640405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033816907346223838.post-84748629151459066712011-05-06T14:24:42.704-07:002011-05-06T14:24:42.704-07:00Thank you for doing such a great job at expressing...Thank you for doing such a great job at expressing MY feelings as well. I could not have said it better...all of it. I can't even explain how it makes me feel when I see the cheering throughout our country. It makes me very uncomfortable to see such a reaction.

It's hard to articulate such a difficult situation. It's funny that the rules we learned in Kindergarten, don't always apply to the real world unfortunately, "violence of any kind is unacceptable and that revenge is never the answer". I guess things just get more complicated as we grow ;) I agree though, that I think the US did a good job of handling the situation with respect. And by talking with your children, you are helping to raise adults who will do the same.Angela Flickerhttp://angelaflicker.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033816907346223838.post-9914832483127197232011-05-06T13:29:49.134-07:002011-05-06T13:29:49.134-07:00My thoughts are similar.

I do think that the people spontaneously celebrating and in particular the kids at Penn State who have spent half their lives with a bogeyman and multiple wars hanging over their heads are entitled to their feelings (and obvious we all realize being in college they take any excuse they can get to party and avoid study) - I thought Obama's wreath (rather than a megaphone) and private words in NY on Thursday (rather than a stump speech) were truly the best of us.<br /><br />xo to youCatherine Ivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com
