Every time I see a picture of that great smile and sweet innocent face it's hard not to think all hope is lost. I also think about every parent all over the world that has had to deal with loss of their child in such a heinous attack. I really hope his family and all the other families of this tragedy can find peace, because I can only imagine the horror they are confronting right now.

Every parent lived their worse nightmare on the day those beautiful kids were killed in Newtown, and to see another child killed it's hard to stomach.

for about a month after Newtown. I couldn't even look at the pictures of those smiling kids.
No child anywhere should be taken in that way.
