I often avoid the news, because I have a hard time separating myself from needless pain in the world. There are days when it is impossible to do that. There is not much that can –or perhaps even should– be said about today. My first instinct is to be silent, but I just wanted to say that I am sending my prayers out for all the victims and their families of today’s tragedy in London. Like many new mothers I especially understand the value of life. I will keep smiling for my baby today, because he is too little to understand. I know I don’t.
