"Today something happened that I am affected by.
33 people have died today in Virgina, for no apparent reason other than someone wanted to take their lives.
I don't have words. I am at a loss. I know that my soul screams for these lives, and it cries deep and long. I swallow it down because I know that if it comes to the surface...I'm not sure it will stop.
I didn't know anyone that goes there, but I can't help but to care.
It confuses me so much not to understand or have a reason for things like this to happen. I can hear the echoes of families cries that may have lost someone, and although I know that there is nothing that I can directly do, I will pray for them. I know exactly how I would feel if I were those families. After all, the thought of my baby brother still brings tears to my eyes.
I pray that God will bring peace of mind and heart to those who have lost thier loved ones. I hope that they can find the stregnth to get through this travesty.
These are the reasons that I don't watch the news. I hate hearing about these kinds of things. But I damned well know that just because I don't watch, doesn't mean things don't happen.
I hate knowing things like this sometimes.
I will say though, it just gives me a reason to pray harder. To love more. To be compassionate, and to look forward to better things.
I am sad..extremely sad.
So to everyone I say this:
If you are affected by anything like this, have lost someone in this tragedy or you have lost someone to something as senseless. I know that it's hard, and it may seem difficult but hope that everyday that goes by, it gets a little brighter. I know it is one of the hardest things to deal with, with time and the love of those around...you will endure.
I am extremely sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you."
