Broken Hearts


SNL Tribute

My heart, like every other one in this country, is broken. Less than an hour away from my apartment, families are wading through grief and children are seeing the world in a different light.

On Sunday, children at my church stood up to sing a medley of Christmas songs. It was an arrangement they had been working on for weeks and it was beautiful. Yet as they sang, I couldn't hold back my tears. I looked at the front row of children, where the youngest of the bunch were lined up, ages 5 and 6.

"They are so small."

That's all I could think.

They were suddenly so, so small.
