This was written by a friend of one of the kindergartners murdered at Sandy Hook. A real tear jerker.

As if my heart couldn't break anymore.

Jesus Christ why did they have to die

"I will talk to you in my prayers." ...man. Strong kid, horrendous story. Nothing else can be said, really.

This is the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life.
AmBraceit
I've never cried over something on here, but this broke me. :/

Is it sinking in yet America? Maybe it's time to rethink some of our approaches to certain issues. How many more must we endure?
Jon76
What are the issues? I'm interested.
nofuxgiven
I cannot possibly live up to my username after seeing this. not at all. thats unbelievably sad.
SirBogart
I cried like a gigantic baby when I read this. I thought back to kindergarten and imagined this happening to my best friend
popculturella
No more dead children.
brimmy
And I'm bawling.
gujayeon
I haven't cried about anything on imgur until this.
duhbruh
The feels just overwhelmed me.
SaltCollector
so much so that you had to use some shitty internet phrase rather than think of words that describe how you personally were affected?
miguu
I cried.

So many chopped onions.
turbophysics
this 'feels' crap is really freaking generic. How 'bout a real response about how tremendously sad this is instead of an overused bad joke
Folamh3
This is the kind of "right in the feels" post I can get behind.
JustinTheHuman
John will never be alone. Oh feels.
Groose
Just when you start to become happy you're reminded how sick this world is. For the first time ever the news made me cry. {1/2}
Groose
{2/2} My prayers and condolences go out to the children, friends and family. Also fellow imgurians,when you can hug your loved ones.
FedorRoovers
He lost a friend, but their friendship will last forever.

First the hurricane and now the hook... Sandy stop with the feels...
maspas
A child should never have to write something like this about their best friend. Not like this...
Hoosagoodboy
God, I wish this tragedy never happened :-/
mrmcspicy
is it really a "tragedy" if it was a deliberate human action? Tragedy is a hurricane. Something we cant control. We could stop killers tho..

Stay strong. We're with you.
SweetBabyJesus
Fuck the feels this week man, fuck them hard.
Shalay1a
This hit home for me. I did the same thing when my best friend died. I miss you, Tabitha. :'(
Fuzelly
This severely freaked me out for a moment because my name -is- Tabitha. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm pretty sure my name twin was awesome.
Shalay1a
She was an awesome person. Everyone called her Tabby though. Im just glad I did get to say good bye the day before she died.
Fuzelly
Everyone calls me that too! Well, along with other variations like Tab, Tabby-Cat, Tabbers. xD
swagdaddysenior
this struck me harder than anything else ive heard about the tragedy and i cant quite determine why
TheSadCafe
Wow, so sad. And so sweet that John wrote his friend a letter. This hits close to home; my son is the same age as the murdered kids :(
Codaram
Is it weird to say that this makes me happy? To see that their memory will live on forever is like a phoenix out of the ashes.
WhiskeyIsItsOwnFoodGroup
yea its kinda weird
comeonson
Happy that they had those moments captured permanently, but deeply saddened that more memories cannot ever be created between those two
Tiggr
yeah, from that photo on the right I pictured them being bro's as they grow up. it's sad and shitty.
BuiltLikeBruce
i'm an atheist but i like to think there's a special place in hell for the guy who did this, and a special place of peace for the victims
sugarylemons
What kind of sick moron down votes something so pure as a child's grief?
Boredman
r/atheism
Boron
yea i just saw 3 people actually down voted this and was gonna comment if nobody else did.

As the media rants about gun control, I hope someone gets all these kids and families the help they'll need for the rest of their lives.

The media will only talk about guns bc thats what gets the rating, not helping those hurt.
ticklemonster142
With that being said, I agree. These children and their families need support.
movingrightalong
Fuck gun control ... arm the teachers!
ryan0991
yeah, that's the answer... more guns.
ticklemonster142
I'm glad we are discussing gun control as an effort to prevent tragedies like this in the future. I would be upset if we weren't.
TF2215
Gun control won't stop a sicko from getting into a school and killing a student sadly. It can cut the amount of loss, but not prevent.
ticklemonster142
I agree. It can definitely cut the amount of loss though, so it's an important step.

emily7421

popculturella
Well, what else is she supposed to do? Work?
sellek9000
she raises a good point. keep on browsing, people!
Xuande
Man fuck this whole situation. I feel like I've been punched in the gut every time I think about this.
EverydayImJunglin
This was a very terrible tragedy. But why would you want to man fuck it?
ICWiener
It's like someone reaches into your chest and just squeezes your heart, right?....yeah, me too :(
SeanTuroci
ditto
opinionatedposter
Same here. I can't stop crying.
scsj
exactly
brandy83
Thank you! My sentiments exactly.
aeonfluxuation
Exactly, I've actually cried on a daily basis over this. It hurt me as a parent.
Alfonse
exactly…I just want to forget.
jellyman
dude i live in england, so its not even on my home turf and i feel exactly the same as you
CowsGoMooALot
I hear you. And for me, the pain just gets worse and worse...I've never cried so much over people I never knew.
mindolluin
know what you mean...I refuse to even talk about it...
whodey
Me too. I just got back from school and my dad tried to talk to talk me about it and I was like, sorry cant do it.
amyrose
It's all people at work want to talk about and I'm apparently a monster for wanting to change the conversation. It does no good to dwell.
EnderXVI
Just walk away at work. Even if your supposed to be doing something just take extra water or restroom breaks.
