Yesterday, a huge injustice took place. I could not post a status here because I could not find any words that could adequately explain my deep sorrow. As a mother, I cannot even allow myself to fully imagine what those closely affected are feeling. There are parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, co-workers etc. all over the word empathizing right now. We are all putting ourselves in those shoes, imagining how it would feel to lose a child/grandchild/sibling/nephew,a friend, a co worker, a community member... It breaks my heart. I am glad so many are heartbroken with me, as it restores my faith in humanity that at least there are more good people than bad in the world. I have no words to justify this act, but I'm left with the saying my parents told me as a child "life is not fair"... No, it is not. Not fair at all. Today I feel lucky to be alive and have my family all healthy and well around me. Tomorrow everything could change.
