Something wonderful happened at my blog.

What, Robin? What? Were you Freshly Pressed again?

No.

Did Santa deliver dozens of new followers?

No.

Did your blog land you a book deal?

No.

For crying out loud, Robin. What happened?

Something much better than any of the things you guessed.

My blog has had hundreds of hits from people looking for Sandy Hook Elementary School’s address after I posted it here on Friday. It is a small indication of how many tens of thousand looked for the address elsewhere. Our friend Oma reminds us to think of the police, firefighters, and paramedics here and gives us links to how to contact them. Let’s not forget the teachers and staff of the school either.

It warms my heart that people from around the world want/need to express words of sorrow or comfort to the Sandy Hook community at a time when adequate words are hard to find.

It helps restore my faith in humanity. The world cares. One madman can’t change that.

Today’s tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School as left me feeling legless.

Are you like me and want to help the families of the victims of today’s senseless shooting rampage, but don’t know what to do? I want to give each of them a hug, and while not a religious person, I want to say a prayer on bended knee with them.

Our friend, Paula Action, shared the school address with me. While far short from a comforting hug or shoulder to lean on, sending a card or letter expressing our sorrow, support, and condolences is at least something. The nation mourns alongside the community. Knowing that we do might help them a bit. As Paula suggested, writing a note would be a lovely thing to do with the family tonight. Excellent idea, Paula. Oh, and pass the word to your friends and family.

The school’s address is:

Sandy Hook Elementary School

12 Dickenson Drive

Newtown, CT   06482
