of families in sandy hook, hartford, bridgeport, who have lost loved ones think of the job i did. katelyn says she s moving forward with her life, but she will never move on. really, really important distinctions, because i think our society does a terrible job with grief and loss and trauma and tragedy. and we say, oh, it s been ten years. it must be easier. oh, you went to therapy. that must have helped so much. oh, you re doing yoga. how wonderful. and yes, all of those things are great to help yourself feel better. but december 14, 2012, is every second of every single day for me. and if many, many of the survivors.
to honor daniel, to prevent other families from having to endure a life of pain due to preventable violence. sandy hook, forever remembered. it was december 14, 2012, just over a week before christmas. that morning something happened that had never happened before. when i was walking james to the bus, i was aware of little pitter-patter of footsteps behind me in the driveway, and it was daniel in his little yankees pajamas. i said, what are you doing up and out? he said, i want to come to the bus with you so i can hug james and tell him i love him. so i put him on the shoulders and we took james to the bus and he wrapped his little arms around him and told him he loved him.
