1 year anniversary

Today will mark 1 year ago a man changed the town of Newtown, CT forever.

I will be doing a photo memorial for each victim so please check after the jump.

If you would like, you can use this picture as an icon on facebook, twitter, anywhere for your icon to show Newtown you are thinking of them and not forgetting about the precious lives lost. I had my blog name on it originally, so I went back and whited that out so it was able to be used by anyone for the anniversary.

And now for the pictures of each lost in the order lost that morning after the jump

Such a light.  Always smiling, unfailingly polite, incredibly affectionate, fair and so thoughtful towards others, imaginative in play, both intelligent and articulate in conversation: in all, a constant source of laughter and joy. Daniel was fearless in his pursuit of happiness and life.  He earned his ripped jeans and missing two front teeth. Despite that, he was, as his mother said, "Just So Good." He embodied everything that is wholesome and innocent in the world. Our hearts break over losing him and for many other families suffering loss."

We remember all of the Victims including Peter and Ryan Lanza who had no connection with Adam at the time of the tragedy but lost both Nancy and Adam. Families of the shooters are victims in their own right especially in this case when they have no idea what was going on or why this happened.  Whatever you may think about the tragedy, don't hate the family members left behind or attack them for their loved ones actions when said loved one is no longer around to answer for those actions etc.

Happy Holidays to all, whatever you celebrate and a Happy New Year.  Thinking of Colorado as they are just coming out of the fog of yesterday figuring out what happened. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers. Their school tactics may or may not have worked as we will find out in the weeks and months ahead. It is my hope that we will have no more school shootings or bullying very soon! Treat others as you would want to be treated.
