The Saddest Day In Connecticut

I have had crazy emotions running through my mind these past couple days.  The shooting at Sandy Brook elementary school in Connecticut hit me hard yesterday.  That's my home state, I couldn't believe that stuff like that happened in the place I love so much.  The thing that made this one even harder to deal with was the simple thought that I have a little brother, 10 years old who goes to elementary school in Connecticut.  Now the shooting was not at his school but it still scared me.  I love that little guy so much, I couldn't even imagine anything happening to him. I broke down into tears just thinking about it.

It is disgusting to me that anyone person could take the life of another person.  There is no justification for it, no amount of anger that you feel toward someone should ever be enough to kill them.  To me this is even worse though, because this psycho killed children, innocent little children from the ages 5 to 10.  What in the world could a child do to make someone want to take their life.  This guy was sick and disgusting to be able to do something like this to innocent children who could not even defend themselves.  I am not the one to judge people when they die, but I have to believe hell is meant for people like that.

My mother is a hero in my eyes, she always has been just because she is my mom, I have always looked up to her.  But yesterday she had to go to the school where the shooting happened, it's part of her job.  I don't know how her or anybody there could have held themselves together seeing this tragedy's aftermath right before their eyes.  My mom and these other people are heroes for doing what they do.  I love you mom, you will always be my hero.

I can't help but tear up while writing this.  Since I first heard about the shooting every single time I hear something about it, or talk about it I tear up.  It is just not right.  There are some horrible people in this world, who make it very easy to lose hope in humanity.  On the flip side there some very amazing people who stand up and are heroes in these times of need.  I wish we could all be like them.

My tears, thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones yesterday.  Especially the ones who lost their children.  My heart aches for you all.  Heavenly Father will take care of them and they are now up in heaven waiting for you with open arms.
