Sandy Hook Elementary.

May God bless all those families who were directly affected.

I was taking my first break at work when Austin called me to tell me what was all over the news. I couldn't stop thinking about it and it had started to make me sick. On my way home I was debating if I wanted to watch the news or not. It didn't fully sink in until I turned the TV on. I just sat and bawled. What a tragedy. My heart aches for those 26 people who lost their lives in that school and even more so for the families who won't get to spend the holidays with their loved ones.

This Christmas I am so grateful to be going home to spend 9 lovely days with my family. I cannot wait! I am already emotional thinking about hugging and kissing on my babies. I can't imagine what I'd do if anything ever happened to them, so this Christmas I will be celebrating with all the love I can give in honor of all 20 of those innocent babies and the 6 adults who were protecting them.

I hope anyone who reads this post will kiss your babies extra for those parents who cannot anymore, I know I will be!
