#prayersfornewtown

This song made me cry please watch for Newtown

This is a tough time during holiday season, a frustrating economy, and natural disasters that have affected too many of us in the Tri-State... Stuff is replaceable, these parents lost their angels, families lost their parents and friends. People are not replaceable, love is unconditional and memories, good or bad, are eternal. Time doesn't heal but for some reason traumatic events along the way bring out perspective and kindness that may be too hard to see when it is happening to your own family. We all have lots to do, inside ourselves, our homes, our schools and our governments. God Bless the families in Newtown! I am more than happy to serve them food and drink anytime and especially this Christmas Eve at The Inn at Newtown. 

So usually, I don't go on and rant about everything that's been happening in my life, but the shooting in Connecticut just has me so upset. I don't get how someone can go and shoot 6 and 7 year olds. They didn't do anything, they are innocent. Think back to when you were that age. Did you even know how to curse? What a curse word was? These kids didn't know any better, they thought that they were going to school to see their friends, and just have fun. They never thought this would happen- no one did. These kids are never going to get the chance to graduate high school, go to their first high school party, fall in love, follow their dreams. That just devastates me, I can't seem to wrap my mind around any of this. I now found someone to live for- those kids. Every time I go to say that I can't, I'm going to think of each and every person in Newtown, and say that I can because they can. I am not a typically religious person, but the last few days I have found myself praying for everyone. I've never even met any of these people, but just like everyone else, they have touched me. No parent should ever have to bury their own child. Teachers should not have to be scared when they go to work, and parents shouldn't be scared to send their parents to school. 

and less than an hour from Newtown has made this recent tragedy hit really close to home. It is disgusting that that cruel man could go in there and kill innocent children with no mercy. Victoria Soto is a hero because of the way she protected her class and should be forever and always be respected. All of the staff of Sandy Hook made protecting the children their top priority while their own lives were second. One of my family friends is a police officer assigned to one of the families who lost a child. Everyone should have a place for Newtown in their hearts, but they should also remember all of the other tragedies as well. People are sick and seem to get more gruesome and have no remorse about anything. There have been two more shootings in the past few days and something has got to change.
