Remembering Sandy Hook

Seven years ago, to this very day. And the story is no less devastating now than it was then.

The murderer gets plenty of mention already, so I'm focusing solely on the victims. I'm told that children who die before the age of eight are immediately qualified for the celestial kingdom, which is a comforting thought. Nevertheless, the way they went breaks our hearts to pieces. I remember Dad was truly heartsick at the news.

"Where have all the children gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the children gone?
Long time ago
 
"Where have all the children gone?
Gone to heaven, every one
Oh, when will we ever learn?
Oh, when will we ever learn?"
