Last night, my daughter graduated from elementary school and will find herself walking through the halls of her junior high come this February.
There was a point in the ceremony when they showed each child's year six photo split screen with their picture from grade one. They were so damn small with their chubby cheeks and dimpled fingers.
It washed over me then, that the parents of those twenty, precious, babies in Connecticut, will never have the opportunity to see their children graduate from elementary school.
My heart is broken.
There are no words...

It is utterly incomprehensible. As a huge consumer of news and media, this story will not leave my thoughts. Just heartbreaking. Not only for the victims and their families but for the parents that must now explain/rationalize/make-sense-of such unspeakable insanity for the surviving children. Cannot imagine.
