Merry Christmas to all (2012 in review)

  First off, a lot of people are in great turmoil over what happened in Newtown, CT. I am too. I just want to cry. Deep down, those 20 didn't deserve to die so young, neither did those those six adult women. Their family has my condolences. They are hurting inside as much as I am. We've been through so much grief in 2012.
    So much gun violence. From a movie theater in Colorado to a Mall in Oregon, now this. Something has to be done about this. 
      We've been through too much sadness all ready. Every time I see a child it reminds me how precious life is and how fast it can be taken away, by a maniac with a gun. It is just too sad. God rest their souls.



     And with Christmas coming up now, I don't know if Connecticut will ever be the same. I know Newtown won't be. They won't ever open Sandy Hook elementary school ever again :(  
            

    This year has been crazy, we've had a lot of ups and downs. Mostly downs. First off, we had Whitney Houston, Davy Jones and Etta James die in the early winter. Three great talents taken away from us.

   Super Storm Sandy in October (I know I'm going ahead of myself) that destroyed and brought devastation to NYC and most of New Jersey boardwalk like Atlantic City.

   Penn State Football would never be the same again after what happen with Jerry Sandusky and the infamous sex scandal with kids, plus the death of Joe Paterno (who had nothing to do with it)

  The Movie theater shooting in Colorado... I just don't want to go any further with that.
    But so much has happened. But a good thing did happen this year...

My cousin gave birth to her third child Riley. He is so adorable and full of life.. He makes every day a special day in that family. A lot of good things did happen this year.

   Obama became president again, we got a new American Idol (Phillip Phillips) Although we did lose Dick Clark this year, his spirit will live on every year the ball will drop on New Years Eve (even if Ryan Seacrest is taking over) nothing will take over Dick Clark's spirits of New Years Eve

   We also lost Neil Armstrong, Ernest Borgnine, Andy Griffith... a lot of great people, but happily they are looking down from Heaven knowing how much they've inspired us.

    This year was a great (although sad year) next year will be the sad happy and sad.

Want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and sending my condolences to the lost souls in Connecticut. Till Next year, Ciao Bloggers!
