People, including children, suffer and die in unspeakable ways every hour of the day all over the world. That doesn’t make the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy any smaller. Nor does the fact that it happened in this country make it any larger or more significant in some way. Any event in which innocent lives, especially the lives of children, are lost forever because of some monstrous, almost unimaginable sickness, is something that should be mourned and recognized. You don’t have to memorize the names of every human being who dies in a tragic way, but we sometimes forget the faces and names a little too quickly.
