And then there's a massacre

Never in my lifetime could I even imagine this happening. 18 little children and 9 adults murdered in an elementary school. My nephew is a cop in Newtown and I'm so grateful that he and his family do not live there. They live next door in Monroe, and their childrens' school is in lock down. My nephew was called in on his day off. Every available state trooper has been called in -- close to 1,200. The president has called the governor to express his condolences. This is the worst school massacre in American history. We can't even feel safe when our children are in school. Newtown is such a beautiful place. I always loved driving through there and stopping at the general store and just looking and the beautiful homes. It's a peaceful, safe town. Or so I thought. My God! I am sick over this, as is the rest of the country. Praying and praying and praying for the families and for the little ones who witnessed the massacre. How will they ever regain their innocence?
