A few days before Christmas one of the most horrific school shootings took place at Sandy Hook elementary in CT. 20 innocent children and several adults were killed in a senseless act by one man. The news coverage was everywhere - tv, radio, newspapers. It was hard not to see it and get lost in the raw emotions of what the people in that town must be feeling. I could not image losing my child of just 6 or 7 years old or losing my spouse, especially right before the holidays. When the kids got home from school that day we hugged them a little tighter and counted our blessings even more.
The principal sent out an email about school security and it included information on "Snowflakes for Sandy Hook" where the PTA of that school was asking for children to make snowflakes and then send them to the school so that they could turn the school into a winter wonderland for the children when it was time for them to go back after the holidays. The picture below is Emily's snowflake that she proudly made and I mailed in. We pray that our children and those across this nation remain safe while they are away from us at school.
