I wish that each and every one of you

will find a measure of merry, a place of peace and a handful of hope before the end of the year.

This last week has been terribly hard on the soul. My heart seems to still be continually cracking bit by bit as some other picture or memory is unearthed. I believe it will be reduced to dust and blown away into the sands of time.

We all were dropped into the darkest part of the human mind. To even feel it from afar has been a searing experience. I can't imagine being at the center. How we react as we make our way out will tell a lot about us and our country.

People have said this was unimaginable and unbelievable. I disagree. It was imaginable and that's why it was so hard to deal with. It was not hard to summon up little kids, hatred, and the destruction of weapons. Mixing them together created a scenario that defied belief. That part was true.

I hope you do find what I wished. That is about all I want at this point. We all need to reach out this holiday season. If we only comfort ourselves, that will be a first step. Then in the year that begins, we have to begin to take many steps. If not, we will truly have lost everything from 26 lives.

Peace.....
