Dear community of Newtown, CT. and to the Sandy Hook Elementary,

Life is beautiful, I never want you to forget that. No one will ever be able to tell you "why" the events that happened their took place, but you will always have people that will be their to support you. Whether we are close to you, or far, our humanity is what binds us together at times of joy, and especially at times of tragedy. It is important that you do not lose sight of the opportunities you have to continue to grow as individuals, and as a strong and loving community. Sadness is not a feeling to fear, it is a recognition of a more joyful time that has passed. But just as the tides  ebb and flow, so too will joy fill your hearts once again. 

Especially to the children, know that you are loved by every single person in the world. That is your special gift as people in the world we all share, and all of our hearts and prayers are with you. We love you all.

As a teacher, I can't even begin to imagine the terror and pain that would have gone through my mind that day. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you today and everyday forward. You will get passed this and become strong again. 

Much love.

Please excuse to write in Korean because my English ability is not good.
(I'm South Korean, high school student.
I believe that although I write in Korean, the real message will be told)

앞서 전술한 대로 전 한국인입니다.
당신들이 겪은 안타까운 사건은 한국에도 전해져 많은 한국인들의 안타까움을 사고 있습니다.
지금 겪고 계신 아픔은, 물론 치료되거나 나을 수 있는게 아니겠지만
그래도 저를 포함한 주변 한국인들의 작은 위로의 말로써나마 조금이라도 힘이 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

미처 세상에 빛을 발할 새도 없이, 안타깝게 우리를 떠난 어린 아이들
그리고 그 어린 빛들을 지키기 위해 망설임 없이 자신의 목숨을 걸었던 수많은 영웅분들께 진심으로 애도를 표하며, 덧붙여 지금까지도 사건의 아픔에 잠도 제대로 못 드실 수많은 유족들께 신의 가호가 가득하길 기원합니다.

부디 힘 내세요.
그래야 천국으로 먼저 떠난 아이들과 영웅분들도 마음 편히 지낼 수 있지 않겠어요?
한번 더 당신들의 아픔이 조금이나마 치료되기를 바라고 또 앞으로 다시는 이런 일이 벌어지지 않기를 기원합니다.

To all the families of Newtown
My heart and tears are with all of you during this grieving time for the children and educators who tried to save each other. No words could comprehend such sadness and not a day goes by that I don't think of all of you and your beautiful children and adults who tried to save so many.

I will continue to pray for all of you daily and hope you will see your loved one again in the arms of our loving Saviour who loves and cares for you so much.  Peace I live all of you.

I don't know enough to feel adequate or knowledgeable to speak about what happened or to fight and prevent it from happening again. I don't know anything except being human. I couldn't begin to understand your loss, of which I am truly sorry. In my world your tragedy couldn't be avoided, which was great in its own way. Everyone I knew was spreading awareness of what happened and their outrage and their grief, and everyone was showing support for your tragedy in their own way. But while the fire may have died down on the social networks, I know (simply from human experience) that your fire is still burning. While I'm sure that this is far in the future, I hope that the day comes when your fire will burn under new kindle. A peaceful one. And in the coming days I hope that you can surround yourself with friends and family who love you and will help to be there for you in the hardest of times. God bless each of you for your bravery.

I found this poem and hope that it gives your town some peace during your time of healing. 

A letter from Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

"It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.

I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...."My day was not in vain.

And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile."

So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.... you're coming here with me.

Dear family of Sandy Hook victims,
    My deepest condolences go to your family during this difficult time.  The magnitude of this crime is so great, it really hits myself, as well as most of the world deeply.  You have to keep strong through this difficult and trying time.  Don't blame yourselves, this was just something that shouldn't have happened, that tragically did.  God is watching over your babies, and watching over your family during these times.    The innocence was taken from these children that day, and it will stay with them forever.  God has your children now, and believe me they're with you all the time.  They're angels now, watching over each and everyone of us.  Your children pass through my mind all the time.  Your children are an inspiration to stop this violence.  If we all get together and show just how heinous a crime this was, maybe then we can make a change for the future.  All of us in Florida have been devastated by this horrible crime, and I, myself could not even imagine this much pain.  Just remember that you are ALL in our hearts and prayers, and remember they're always gonna be with you.  In your most desperate and trying of times, just remember that your baby, and the other babies are with you.

With all the sincerest apologies for your loss,
Sara
