It's going on midnight and I'm just getting home from my company's annual holiday party, which started at noon today. We had a lovely buffet luncheon, mingled with co-workers and enjoyed an afternoon away from the office. Afterwards, several of us went to a nearby landmark hotel for drinks and more camaraderie. Someone early in the afternoon mentioned there had been a shooting at a school in Connecticut but at the time, the news didn't really sink in. It wasn't until I got home just now and had a look at the news highlights and various messages on Facebook that the extent of this tragedy really sunk in for me.
My heart goes out to all of those who lives have been torn apart by this senseless killing and especially the parents who are now having to deal with the shocking and unexpected loss of their beloved children. I can't imagine the pain they must be going through right now. Their lives will never be the same again and for that, we should all grieve.
