dark day

As the news of the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others started to spread, yesterday turned into one of those dark, tragic days. You knew it would only get worse once the details of all of the victims started to become known. This morning we learned that the nine-year-old girl reported killed yesterday was Christina-Taylor Green, the granddaughter of Dallas Green, former manager, now executive, with the Phillies. Born on September 11, 2001, Christina-Taylor was reportedly an active, passionate, caring child who already knew that, like Gabrielle Giffords, she wanted to be a force for good. What a devastating, heartbreaking day.
