In memory of the victims at Sandy Hook

Blue Sky Mausoleum, Buffalo, New York

“When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry.
And in the midst of sailing ships, we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye.

“And as I float along this ocean,
I can feel you like a notion
That won’t seem to let me go.

“And every word I didn’t say, caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor, we didn’t have before
And every sunset that we’ll miss, I’ll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away.

“And as I float upon this ocean,
I can feel you like a notion
That I hope will never leave.”

– from “When I Look to the Sky”

    This song is one of my favorites and it's perfect for this. I will never get over this tragedy, I don't think. Too heartbreaking.

    My heart goes out to all of those families. What happened was just senseless and tragic, and sadder than anything imaginable.
