Sometimes things that we do not understand happen.  We may never understand why they happen, but God has a plan for all of us and we must not give up.  You have not lost the battle yet.  The moment you give up is when you lose.  Today may have not been the best day.  Tomorrow may not be either.  But just know, that one day, everything will be perfectly unperfect.  No one may be able to understand the pain and sorrow you are inflicted with now, but just know we are all there for you.  Our prayers go up to all of those brave, courageous heroes and innocent children who passed away in this great tragedy.  We will never forget them.  Stay strong and hold on to the memory of the beautiful people who have left us, yet they will never really leave us.  Those who are gone will always remain in our hearts...
