As I awake this morning I am met with the horrific news coming out of Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, Connecticut. I can't help but get emotional and cry for those poor children. There is no justification that can be made for why someone would take out their anger or frustration out on a child. These children could not have done ANYTHING to those responsible for this. At this point it is being reported that at least one of the shooters then took his own life. Why take the lives of those children first? I do not believe in religion. However, a part of me hopes I am wrong and that this/these man/men have to look into the eyes of these poor children in the afterlife and answer their sure to be only question. "Why?" And my heart bleeds for those who now have to live with these images for the rest of their lives. The parents who were looking forward to their children's smiles Christmas morning, only 11 days away.The classmates, who may never feel safe entering into a school campus again. The teachers, who will undoubtedly ask them selves, "What could I have done?" I wish I could be there, give every single one of them a hug that simply takes their pain and heartache away. I urge everyone, please take a moment grab everyone close to you, hug them extra tight and never forget to tell them you love them. I don't know why it has become the social norm to shield our emotions and feelings. I tell everyone special to me I love them. Gay or straight, man or woman, friend or family. You never know if you may never get the chance. If we all expressed love a little bit more freely, maybe, just maybe, we would see less of situations like this. So in conclusion, if you are reading this, I love you.
Chris
