why.....

the light in many lives has dimmed or gone completely out after yesterday's tragedy in the sandy hook elementary school. sitting in my family room yesterday, watching the news from afar, my heart crumbled and heavy tears ran down my cheeks. the senseless death, of all those small children and their teachers, is something we will never understand, no matter how hard we try. my thoughts and prayers go out to that quaint and beautiful little town of newtown, connecticut. i have learned with death, that the ties that bind, to anyone who has ever died, cover miles and miles of terrain. scattered and sometimes forgotten, are grieving grandparents, aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, godparents, siblings, best friends, old neighbors and babysitters...the list could go on forever.

to everyone hurting right now, the world is praying for you.
