Bu like you I decided to continue posting. My reasons aren't as good as yours. I too believe we need something to help us forget the pain for a few minutes. Thank you so much for this post.

It is unimaginable to think of what happened to those teachers and administrators, and worse those young children. I have two children aged 6 and 8 and my heart breaks for the parents of those poor children, even the adult children. NO parent should have to bury their child. That's not the way it's supposed to work.<br /><br />Every few minutes there is a report about this saddest of tragedies in the media and although I am voluntarily knee deep in it trying to grab on to some something that will ease everyones pain, it remains. That is where you come in. We all need a break from this and you are it. Thank you for being there to distract us with normal routine.<br /><br />There are a bunch of new angels in heaven and we'll see them again some day but until then they will be dearly missed and I pray for those they left here on earth that they can find a way to cope with their devastating grief.ggggghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355144531522125254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-31675688174348289422012-12-17T16:22:33.440-08:002012-12-17T16:22:33.440-08:00Thank you for this, G. <3Thank you for this, G. <3beauty ∞ infinitumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374230303879641874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-59154480096628060922012-12-17T13:31:27.456-08:002012-12-17T13:31:27.456-08:00I actually got a job on that day.

I had to do something to stave off the anxiety, and to keep from screaming. Still feeling heartbroken and helpless. I appreciate all you do, on any given day. But I especially appreciate your efforts right now.portmanteauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195932192187418165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-18351988755776483532012-12-16T17:22:02.743-08:002012-12-16T17:22:02.743-08:00Dear G, thank you for being willing to mention the...Dear G, thank you for being willing to mention these events and share your feelings with us, and even blog about beauty for us. As a new mom I can't even comprehend how it would feel to lose my child. I couldn't even believe this dreadful news was real at first....I was in shock that anyone could do that, either here or abroad. This post made me cry all over again but it felt like I was chatting with a friend and we were sharing the sadness. <br /><br />On a side note, I've had some bad health issues in the last 5 years (Lyme infection for 2 years, then fibromyalgia), and though I have enjoyed much better health for the last year and a half, I definitely agree with the other gals above who find a welcome distraction in health and beauty blogs. On the days I felt the worst, when I couldn't even get out of bed to go to work, I found blogs and YouTube tutorials an escape, and on the not-as-bad days, putting on my makeup was like mini-therapy in the morning. The worse I felt, the more care I took with my makeup, because it cheered me up to have a really nice eye design, or a really lush lip look. Since my illnesses were not very visible conditions, it helped me to feel more 'normal' if I looked normal and had some colour on my face.<br /><br />Anyways this comment is long and wandering but I couldn't be more appreciative of your work here or the lovely community that has taken root in this corner of the internet. Thank you so much for being such a sweetheart.<br /><br />beautifulmondayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454234337729762438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-73041399967713432962012-12-16T16:27:34.416-08:002012-12-16T16:27:34.416-08:00This may be my first comment...

Not everybody understands... When I feel overwhelmed with emotion (sadness, anger, nervousness, even happiness, etc) I like to paint my nails, make a DIY face mask, lay in freakin bed and read beauty blogs. Especially yours.<br /><br />The people closest to me think I'm being cruel, emotionless, lazy, unfocused, and that I have a serious problem...<br /><br />It's so hard to explain to them that this is what I do to ease the pain/stress/heartache. If I were reading a book, playing piano, writing, dancing, ANYTHING but makeup, that'd be acceptable, and they'd understand it's a therapeutic hobby. But for some reason makeup is selfish and vain. I try to compare it to painting a mural, but to no avail.<br /><br />I rambled on, sorry. Basically, although this horrific tragedy has occurred, I am grateful to have a place I can go and release some anxieties... Amongst those who completely understand.<br /><br />Thanks girl, I appreciate you, and what you're doing.<br /><br /><3 SimoneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01657350104943227218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-23253360079327369262012-12-16T14:10:28.192-08:002012-12-16T14:10:28.192-08:00I'm so happy that you understood exactly what ...I'm so happy that you understood exactly what I was trying to say.

People deal with tragedy in many different ways, and I think that for some, it's best to not say anything at all because it might be too painful to put it into words. In my case, I was very scared to write this post because words are tricky and can be interpreted in so many ways. I was afraid I'd come across as insincere, and that's the last thing I'd ever want. Ultimately I just decided to let go and write from the heart, so it means more to me than you will ever know that my words seemed to resonate with you. Thank you so much. xoG.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-64001153339602152742012-12-16T12:06:38.511-08:002012-12-16T12:06:38.511-08:00Rose, I think I've read your comment a dozen t...Rose, I think I've read your comment a dozen times since you left it yesterday, and every time my eyes have filled with tears. I will never be able to come up with the right words to properly express to you how humbled I am to know that I could provide you with any sort of brief diversion or escape from the agonizing situation you were in. The situation you were in that led to you finding me is heartbreaking, but the tiny consolation is that we found each other, and I am forever grateful that you're here.<br /><br />Please, please hug and kiss your beautiful little boy for me. There is a very special, sacred place in my heart for parents in your situation who have had to endure what you've gone through, and I hope with every fiber in my being that things improve for your son and that you never have to endure another sleepless night again. All my love to you and your family. xoxoG.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-85599855351401279072012-12-16T11:51:17.773-08:002012-12-16T11:51:17.773-08:00I know exactly what you mean...I know exactly what you mean...G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-54343596681769841222012-12-16T11:50:28.153-08:002012-12-16T11:50:28.153-08:00Thank YOU, for saying such an incredibly sweet thi...Thank YOU, for saying such an incredibly sweet thing. *hugs*G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.com
