Kind of funny (ironic) that when I used to talk to my kids about the new year for us, it was always about the upcoming fun stuff we had planned or the bad time we had on a summer trip, or other trivial items. Everything has changed, now. Especially for the children. It seems that priorities have changed for everyone in this country (and around the world). However, in the spirit of healing, a new year can mean a new start. I read in Sunday's paper, that it is "time for the mighty giant to wipe away the tears."
