It’s time to take a break from the deals for a moment. I’m angry, I’m hurt, I’m sad. Honestly, I don’t understand how people (any person) can murder a child. How do you look at a child and then kill them? I just cannot fathom it. It hurts to think about, but I have to think about it. It is reality in our lives, in my life.
Thinking about all parents who have lost a child this year, for any reason, and that child will not be here for Christmas. The parents in Connecticut who already wrapped presents for their children, but now those children are gone.
My heart aches for my sister, whose four year old was killed in August of this year. My nephew, Jake, will not be here to celebrate Christmas with his mother and family.
How do we as a society help these parents cope? How do we as a nation cope? Where do you start? I’m at a loss. I am one person, but what can we do to protect the children?
I’m praying that the parents of all the children who died this year find strength, peace and love throughout this holiday season. My heart is with all of you. xo

I know I don’t have the answers. We try to pull together the best we can..learn something from the tragedy, appreciate more, love more, do more. Whatever that looks like to us individually.
