I grew up not very far from Connecticut in Massachusetts. My oldest friend in the world whom I've known since I was three years old lives two towns over from where the tragedy happened this morning. She is a teacher. She is the mother of two young children. I got down on my knees today and thanked God for letting her and her family be safe and cried tears of grief for those who are not.
There are simply no words.
Hug your loved ones tightly.
My heart goes out.
