33. Today is not the time for the NRA to spew. Hug your kids.

Dec 2012

Our thoughts and prayers should go out to the families of the murdered children who lost their lives today because they went to school. Hug your little ones extra hard when they get off of the bus. Kiss them. and tuck them in EXTRA tight tonight......because some parents at Sandy Hook won't ever get to do that again. Guns talks can wait.
