Sandy Hook Elementary

I feel so sad & heartbroken for the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School. I've been praying all weekend long trying to figure out what I can do to bring a smile to the faces of those grieving. It's absolutely awful to lose a child. How can someone possibly bring a smile to the faces of someone who is grieving for a child. I can't figure it out. Then I looked at my fridge & saw a flower there made by Melanie for me for Mother's Day. That flower is never going to die & it absolutely brings a smile to my face every time I look at it. So I decided to tell Melanie a shortened version of that tragedy and together we made Sandy Hook Elementary a flower, a sparkly one. We hope they like it. We hope it brings a smile to their face and a warm feeling in their hearts. We also send our prayers to them. We pray they have peace. We pray they feel comfort. We pray that even in this very difficult time they are able to show forgiveness. We pray that they receive GODS strength & will to heal. I know this is probably considered a mediocre thing to do, I mean who can possibly bring a smile to the face of a parent grieving over a child or a child or husband grieving over their wife or Mom and so on & so on. But my heart just could not rest until I felt like I DID something. What happened is horrific & I want these families to know that people from all over are thinking of them, they are not alone. You are in our hearts Sandy Lake Elementary.
