heartache

My heart aches today.

I grieve for those young innocent souls who were robbed of all their possibilities.

I hurt for the families facing the holidays without their children and all the magic they add to the season.

I pray for those connected to those responsible for this devastating day.

I'm blessed.  I will go home to my healthy family and hug them tight.
