When Robbie Parker thinks about his daughter Emily,

one of the memories that springs to mind is when they were in the checkout line at Costco.

You know, and you had that huge car and you're putting everything on the conveyor belt.

Because he was busy with the groceries,

it took Robbie a moment to realize that six-year-old Emily had been talking for a while,

but not to him.

I realized she was talking to the worker at Costco that was like helping scan things and stuff like that.

And they were having a conversation and I realized like it was like they knew each other.

This wasn't the first time they had met.

Emily had like created this bond. They had talked before and she recognized her and they kind of picked up right where they had left off before.

She was such an amazing old soul in a way.

That's Emily's mom, Alyssa.

She was very intuitive and she was very gentle and very sweet.

The parkers say this is how they would like Emily's life to be remembered,

a life that is often overshadowed by her death.

Emily was one of 26 people for grade students and staff who were murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting 10 years ago.

Being one of the Sandy Hook families, there is a community around that and there is something that we all experienced at the same time together,

but at the same time is so, so individual.

Consider this.

Each mass shooting has a grim number attached to it, but those numbers are made up of individuals,

each of whom had a full life and a family who continues to cope with their absence.

So now 10 years after Sandy Hook, we will remember some of the children who died that day.
