MARC'S MEMOS
12-17-12
With Christmas just around the corner, we should be in good spirits and looking forward to spending quality time with our families. For most of us we will get the chance to do so. Unfortunately, there are far too many people that will never experience the holidays or life together again. It is sad when families lose loved ones, but the recent tragedy in Connecticut is unthinkable and hard to come to terms with. I can’t imagine the pain that those parents, siblings and relatives are going through. It is beyond comprehension and the healing process will take a very long time.
I have a grandson that attends school and is about the same age of the children that were victims. He just spent several hours at my house while his parents were out doing some shopping and I couldn’t stop staring at him. I sat next to him while he ate a snack and found myself studying his every move. I am still amazed at how lucky I am to have this little person in my life. I realize that most people feel this way about their own loved ones and that is why this tragedy is so horrific.
I hope that this is the last time that innocent lives are lost in such a senseless and barbaric act. Unfortunately, there are still individuals out there intent on causing harm to others and we have no way of knowing when or where it might come from next.
Perhaps we might take extra time to appreciate our families and make more of an effort to show how much we love them. I know that this holiday season will have extra meaning for me as I celebrate with my grandchildren.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Until next time, take care! Marc
