The reminder that comes with tragedy

Today, my mother put up some baby pics of my sister and I from back when we lived in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. The tragedy which happened there serves as a reminder to me that something like this could happen anywhere, to anyone. My sister went to school there. Those children were just like my sister or even just like me. 

We are always told to keep our head up because there is someone out there is has it less lucky than we do. We tend to ignore this fact despite knowing it perfectly well because we imagine somebody a world away from us. But its a small world after all. 

Never stop appreciating how luck you are, no matter who you are and what condition you're in.
