“This city just showed you that it’s full of people, ready to believe in good.”
~ The Dark Knight
Tragedy struck this little town of mine and I have been walking around in a daze ever since. I have not been able to do much and find myself with a little grey cloud hanging over my head for the past 4 days. My friends lost one of their loved ones and my heart just hurts for them. My hearts is hurting for all of the victims. I am at a loss of words. Who really knows what to say when things like this happen? This community has come together and created a makeshift memorial to remember the lives that were lost. My family and I paid our respects, left some flowers, hugged some strangers and cried a lot of tears. It is just surreal.
Heaven is a little richer today…
… but our hearts will be hurting forever.
I will give my best to help remember those that we lost.
