We all recognize that tragedy is a part of life, but some events are nearly unspeakable and impossible to understand. In 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School was the victim of one of the most appalling acts of violence this country has seen. The facts have been well documented, and the years have done nothing to make sense of what happened, or made it any less horrific.
One of the victims was Catherine Hubbard, a first grader, and an animal enthusiast. Her passion was animals, both real and stuffed. When she met an animal, regardless of fur, slime, scales, or size, she would ask it to “tell all your friends I am kind.” She wanted all animals to know she wanted to be friends with them and protect them. In kindergarten, Catherine made herself business cards for “Catherine’s Animal Shelter,” and listed herself as “Care Taker.” Despite being so small, she managed to dream bigger than most adults.
