Over the past two days, weve seen a father try to put his immeasurable pain into words. My family is one of the families that lost a child yesterday. My daughter, emilie, would be one of the first ones to be standing and giving her love and support to all those victims. Because thats the type of person she is. As the deep pain begins to settle into our hearts, we find comfort reflecting on the incredible person that emilie was. Weve also seen parents trying to find words to express their gratitude and their relief. Were very lucky that all the children, my son included, had the presence of mind to react appropriately and they basically ran right next to the guy and out the door. There will be more words, there will be more stories today as newtown and the rest of the nation try to make some sense out of this tragedy that took the lives of 20 children.
