I live in Toronto, Canada. I have an 8 year old son who is my world. This tragedy has deeply affected me. I've cried so many tears for all the loss. I really have no words but my heart is heavy with pain and sorrow for all of you.

Tonight my son had his school Christmas concert. It started off with a moment of silence and a prayer for all the victims of Sandy Hook. I thought that was a wonderful thing for the school to do. My son's class were to sing Silent Night, I knew it would be amazing but hard to watch, and it was. The children began singing while doing sign language. Then one verse was completely silent and just sign language for the words. It was quite moving and brought tears to my eyes. All I kept thinking was that your children should be doing their Christmas concert just like that... but they are sweet little angels singing up in Heaven now. 

Every time I see a child smile I think of those sweet little angels. I hug my boy just a little tighter and think of those little angels. I see children play in the park and think of those little angels. Your children will never be forgotten, their memories will live on in every child's smile, every child's laugh, every child's tear... I can only hope you find some comfort in that and one day get through this darkness.

May God bless you all.
