EP-129 Alissa Parker
Manage episode 221500956 series 2390837
Is forgiveness a one-time thing? Is it possible to forgive what seems like the ultimate unforgivable act? Are angels real? Do you believe in miracles? Even after something as tragic as having your child murdered? Alissa Parker is one of the parents who lost their child during the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting that happened on December 14th, 2012. Her 6-year old daughter, 19 other children, and 6 adults were among the victims that day. Alissa opens up about that day, the days that followed, how she found her way. She tells us of miracles, of where her darling Emilie is now, her book, and the focus of her attention outside her family these days in her non-profit organization, Safe and Sound Schools. This is a true testament of taking a horrific “sucking lemons” moment, the searching and finding of the “sugar” (over and over again), that has made her find her “sweet lemonade”. Join us with tissues and honor for this amazing woman.
