The human race is it's own worse enemy. It's so hard to see good in all of this. How can there be good in the taking of lives.Helen_77https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470459773801779949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-68734490533583156622015-11-17T03:45:53.613+02:002015-11-17T03:45:53.613+02:00We are lucky that ours are still a bit young and d...We are lucky that ours are still a bit young and don't need to know yet. On occasion Nicola does pick up.on a news storie and if she asks me questions about it I try my best to explain. For instance whenever we stop at a traffic light and there's someone begging for money she says that Jacob Zuma must have stolen theirs to build himself a castle! ;-) (that's not how I explained it, but it's not wrong is it?)Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769265080218881774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-16464235285673819222015-11-16T12:56:27.894+02:002015-11-16T12:56:27.894+02:00We do view things very differently as a parent.

It's one thing to process the unthinkable yourself, but to have to talk through it with a child is completely something else.<br /><br />At not-quite seven, we haven't talked with the girls about what happened in Paris. They know about 9/11 (since we traveled to New York last summer), but that it "was a long time ago". I know it won't be long, but for now, I can choose not to frighten them.<br /><br />Hugs to us all.MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-20316844312973567802015-11-16T12:49:50.177+02:002015-11-16T12:49:50.177+02:00Terrible!

What I choose to focus on is the spirit of love that shine through for most people that was involved in the massacre! They comforted each other, opened their houses to people that was stuck and most thought only about their loved ones and that they wanted to tell them that they love them!Karen du Toithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962536496240863886noreply@blogger.com
