Sandy Hook Elementary Angels

Lately I have been very, very busy. By the time the baby is asleep and I have a few things done around the house, I'm too tired to write. However, I felt I needed to write a quick blog with my condolences to the families who suffered great loss at Sandy Hook Elementary.

As the news becomes available and I update myself, my heart breaks further and further.

Twenty 1st graders had their lives taken far too soon. And the rest of the children in that school have lost a piece of their innocence they can't get back. I am thankful for the brave teachers who put themselves in harms way to protect their students, even if it meant giving their lives. My heart is currently with the parents who have lost their babies - the most precious things in their lives - and the parents who are terrified to send their children back to school again.

Every moment I think about the tragedy that took place yesterday, I squeeze my daughter a little tighter. My prayers have constantly been with those mommies and daddies who lost their babies. There truly are no words to describe the sick feeling in my gut everytime I imagine the horrible ordeal the people of Newtown, CT are going through.

When I find the time, I'll write more. But for now I'd like to post a link incase ANYONE wants to send a small donation to help the families in their time of mourning. There are a few different places to send money set up. Please check it out, and if you can spare a dollar, please do so. I'm sure if the nation came together to help them out a little, it would mean so much to the families.

I'd also like to send a thank you to all the law enforcement and personel who have spent the last two days managing the situation, helping children out of the school, investigating and seeing those terrible images inside of the school that I'm sure none of them will ever forget.

Enjoy having your babies this Christmas and pray for all the families whose babies will be spending Christmas with the Lord in Heaven.

Just some of the photos I've found.
Please remember the victims, not the shooter. Learn their names, see their photos and mourn with their families. Any person who can commit such an act doesn't deserve their name to be remembered.
