26 Christmas trees where donated and decorated in honor of the 26 victims from the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. My eyes tear up everytime I hear or see a story about the children and the adults involved in this massacre. My heart is also broken for their families and friends who have to deal with life without them. It's going to be a hard road to healing for many. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Funerals are starting up today for some of the victims. It's so hard to wrap your head around such a senseless loss of so many lives. It makes you appreciate every moment you have with your loved ones.
