Dear Lyla,
Today I picked you up earlier than usual from school. You were ecstatic when you saw me with Gigi on a leash to meet your bus and announce that as soon as we got home we would be donning on our pjs and watching Scooby Doo until bedtime. Tonight, little one, many parents in Newtown, Connecticut will not be able to hug their children and tuck them in; tonight heaven has many new angels. Some day when you are older and have children of your own, you will read this post and understand what it means to love another human being so much that your heart hurts just a little bit. While I may have to constantly remind you to pick up your toys and nag endlessly about issues that are seemingly unimportant to your five year old mind, never doubt that you are loved and every day I have with you is a gift.
