It is inspiring and it is sad to think the hope of a nation rests in the sweet smile of a little 9-year-old child who died from a bullet.
Heroes walk among us everyday and we don’t notice them because they are our neighbors, friends and family members.
They stand so someone can sit, they stop so someone who has been waiting can move into traffic, they hold doors, they hug those who simple need a hug, and they cry for a little girl they never knew personally, because she represents all that is good in their lives and in this nation.
May she laugh with the fun and the simple as she jumps in rain puddles in another world, and may we do the same here on earth.
