this week, a newtown, connecticut elementary school became a site of unnecessary violence and pain, loss and suffering. i won't get into my personal, detailed thoughts, as a mother and human, regarding this terrible thing. i won't talk about gun control or mental health care or anything else you'll hear about from a talking head on one of the television or radio networks of mainstream america.
what i will say is that this shouldn't have happened.
what i will say is that this has happened too much in relatively recent american history.
what i will say is that it rips me to shreds.
what i will say is that these children should not have died, and it's these children who deserve to be remembered, not the killer, or the talking heads, or the rhetoric surrounding the situation.
this is a beautiful tribute. "hallelujah" is one of my favorite songs, ever, and this brought tears to my eyes. thank you to NBC and the voice for putting this together.
we will never forget you, sweet babies. never, ever. not in a million years.
