Regardless of your personal beliefs, what happened today in Connecticut is an absolute tragedy. Please put what divides us aside for right now and join hands in a moment of silence for the victims of today’s tragedy. 

With that said…….

Very rarely am I at a loss for words but……….I am today.

My heart breaks for all the children and families affected by the Connecticut school shooting today. The loss of life is beyond a senseless tragedy. I want to say how completely heartbroken for those killed in this despicable act.

Everyone is in our thoughts and prayers and will remain there. 

As a parent, this is my absolute worst nightmare and I can’t even begin to understand what these parents are going through.

Please hug your children tonight and be thankful that you have them.

As a society, we have to work together, despite our differences, be it race, religion or political beliefs and do everything possible and then some, to ensure this never happens again.

When I personally experience a tragedy, I tend to find meaning and comfort in music. For that reason, I wanted to share two songs I felt compelled to listen to after hearing about today‘s events.

Please keep all those involved in today‘s shooting, the victims, their families and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
