Somehow a week has passed since the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut. As a mother, a Connecticut resident and a human being, I feel deeply impacted by what happened. This morning at 9:30 am, my 21 month old daughter watched me ring our farm's bell 26 times for the innocent lives that were lost. Let us do more, this time, than talk about gun reform and mental health. It is hopeful that discussions have begun, but let's make sure that laws are made and action is taken to make assault weapons illegal and mental health care available and de-stigmatized. Mental diseases are blind to social class, ethnic groups and are likely to affect every family in one form or another.
