My heart has hurt immensely since Friday afternoon.
I wish I could express everything I have been feeling in this blog, but I can't. I don't have any ties to Newtown, other then a few people I went to college with having a connection to the school distract.
This has hit so close to home though. I like to believe that our town is similar to Newtown in that small town feel. Everyone seems to know everyone here and everyone has grown up with each other. Coming in at 8th grade, it was weird to see how close everyone was, and from what I have seen on the news, Newtown is the same type of town.
There are no words though for the tragedy that happened at Sandy Hook elementary school on Friday morning. I was glued to my television all day Friday as most people throughout our state, country, and even the world.
The fact that these small children had their innocence ripped away in such a short time is the biggest tragedy of it all. All of these children have grown up beyond their years on Friday. I am so impressed with the courage that every person in that school has presented to the world, from each of those children at the school, to the teachers, to the staff, and the emergency personnel, and all the parents and friends and family of those in that school. Something like this just shows how much other people can step up and be the best type of people during the worst circumstances.
Rest in peace to all those angels that lost their lives on Friday morning. And stand strong to the town of Newtown. You have a whole state supporting you no matter what.
