Candles, symbols of light and hope in our darkest hours,
brighten my home as we celebrate the holiday the day after the horrendous
life-taking of 20 children and six adult teachers in a local American school.
My heart is grateful for the grandchildren who are here, safe and sound, as I
grieve with all other parents and grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins and
friends of those who were so senselessly murdered with yet another assault
rifle in the hands of a twenty-year old disturbed young man. Life is a gift; we
never know how long we have. Let’s treasure it!
We never know what life is like for others; mostly we concentrate on our own and seldom do we take the time to appreciate what we have. Today is one of those times.
