I'm sure all of you if not most, have heard what happened yesterday in Connecticut. I was shocked, devastated and utterly horrified by the cruel events. I didn't think it would shake me so much, but it did. I haven't slept peacefully in more than 24 hours. All I keep seeing when I close my eyes is a classroom full of dead children. I feel powerless because I can't do anything to change the fact that these beautiful children are never coming back. Times like these, I wish that we had time-machines or supernatural powers to change the past. Unfortunately, life is not as pretty as that. I can't even begin to imagine the pain and heart-ache the families and friends of these victims are going through right now. I get a lump in my throat when I think of the children who will never be able to smile again, of the parents who will never get to tell their babies how much they loved them and of the children who will go to school in fear and might never recover from the trauma.
