Today is Not A Happy Day....

Yesterday I took the first step in attaining one of my biggest life goals. But today is not the day for that. I cannot even be excited for myself when I think about what transpired in Newtown, Connecticut. I feel like I have been stripped of my happiness and euphoria today.

No.
Today is most definitely not a happy day.
Today is a sorrowful day.
Today is a tragic day.
Today is a day of mourning.
Today is a day of lost innocence.

Today is a day of 20 children being gunned down at school.
Today is a day of 5 year olds gasping for their final breaths crying for mommies and daddies as they expire.
Today is a day where you rip a paper into 20 tiny bits to try to wrap your mind around the number 2-0.
Today is a day that you weep for everyone of those papers.
Today is a day of funeral plans instead of Christmas joy.
Today is a day of realization that evil is real.
Today is a day of breaking news and up to date reports.
Today is a day of scarred survivors.
Today is a day of sobbing presidents.

Today is a day to hold your children close and never ever ever let go........
