When I heard about the shootings in Sandy Hook all I could feel was a sudden pang... An aching feel of a hole left by someone that suddenly disappears from your life. No warning, just a regular day when all of a sudden you get a call that says “He/She's never going to come back.” I know that feeling very well because the same has happened to me as of recently and... the world is going to seem bleak for a while. Like as if life can't go on. But I just want you to know that even though the ache won't ever truly go away, that your children will not be forgotten. They will be forever remembered in our hearts and even though this has been hard for all of us.. whether we knew them or not ... we will make sure that from the ashes of the sadness and pain of losing them, we will give life to help protect children everywhere in our country so that no one else can feel such a pain again. Keep strong.
