And so this is Christmas...

Good times spent with little ones...with bigger ones...with some a little under the weather ones...with aunties and uncles...and nanas and papas...with with cherished elders...and with the unseen presence of departed loved ones....

Innocence Lost.

Dear Newtown,

We mourn your loss. We share your sorrow.

Our hearts are heavy. Our lives are forever changed. We too, have lost our innocence.

May God hold you in his loving embrace. Please know that you are not alone in your sorrow and that loving thoughts are sent your way.
