The Tragedy in Connecticut

Today is December 14, 2012, and today a gunman walked into an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut and kill 27 people, most of whom were kindergartners.

I really hope that this tragic event will bring forth that we need to have gun control in this country. Right now I feel like if anyone is against banning guns in this country, someone should shoot their 5 year old child and see if that changes their opinion.

It's very much hurting me. I have a cousin that's in kindergarten and just keep thinking what if it were him? He doesn't live in Connecticut, he lives in Illinois, but a shooting can happen anywhere. I just keep picturing what if he would've died and it's breaking my heart. We're just cousins and just the thought of that is breaking my heart. I'm so thankful right now simply for the fact that none of the children in my family were killed in a school shooting today, and I'm devastated for the ones whose children were killed in the school shooting today.

R.I.P. little ones. You'll be missed. 

My lyric of the day are going to be fitting, but it's a whole song. It's possibly one of the saddest songs that I've ever come across. Should anyone listen to this, keep in mind the little ones in your life.
