On the anniversary of Sandy Hook, a mother's gratitude for her child's faith
Tain Gregory, age 8 in this photo, wears pictures on his vest of his godbrother, Ben, who was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary when a gunman blasted his way into the building. Tain’s mother, Sophfronia Scott, printed two photos of Tain and Ben playing in a pile of leaves in her yard after Tain requested to wear them to Ben’s funeral. She fastened them with paper clips to Tain’s vest. Photo courtesy of Sophfronia Scott
