inconsolable grief, she~ I'm so grateful this President was there for the loved ones of the Sandy Hook kids.

Thank you so much, she, for smartypants' tribute to the memory of the beautiful children who were killed a year ago today at Sandy Hook Elementary.. by sharing Joshua Dubois'(White House Spirtual Advisor) recollection of the President's encounters with the grieving families.

"Jesus teaches us that some things—the holiest things, the most painful and important and cherished things—we are to do in secret." Joshua Dubois

"Recently when he was interviewed by Chris Matthews, President Obama said that the most important characteristic of any effective president is the extent to which he stays connected to the people he is elected to serve. At times like this I imagine that connection breaks your heart."

"My hope is for support and healing to all the hearts that are broken today."smartypants~ who says it so well.
