Names for Remembering

For readers from other countries: On December 14th, 2012, a gunman walked into an elementary school and killed 26 individuals, mostly children 6 or 7 years old.  Stories have covered the news across the nation of their massacre.  The evil of the world has once again seeped into the sun-lite lives of children, cutting them short.  But at this time, we can remember: the candle seems brightest during the dark of night.  For those filled with fear and sorrow, feeling the darkness of the world is engulfing you, I promise you that candles still light this world, showing us where goodness can be found.  Light your own candle, for where the light is, darkness cannot remain.

I do not know the name of the gunman, I have not taken the time to look it up and remember. One does not deserve to be remembered for such acts.  Click here for the names worth remembering, them and their families.  Remember them, even if it is just one, and remember that there is good in this world if we will stand for it.
