Yesterday an unspeakable tragedy
occurred in the community of Newtown. 20 beautiful children and 7
wonderful adults lost their lives.
All of Connecticut’s people – indeed
the people of the world –weep for the immeasurable losses suffered by
the families and loved ones of these victims.
Though we could all try, when
something as senseless as this occurs, there’s precious little anyone
can say to the families of the victims that will lessen the horror and
sense of loss they feel. We could say we feel their pain, but the truth
is we can’t.
When tragedies like this occur, people
often look for answers, an explanation of how this could have occurred.
But the sad truth is, there are no answers. No good ones, anyway.
We have all seen tragedies like this
play out in other states and countries. Each time, we wondered how
something so horrific could occur, and we thanked God that it didn’t
happen here in Connecticut. But now it has.
