So
many people have been saying that this act is evil incarnate- to kill a
child. I can't begin to imagine what the families are suffering. I saw
my sister and my cousin grieve the loss of their babies and the depth of
that loss is incomparable.
These
poor children were shot at close range and the only hope that we could
have for them is that they didn't feel much pain, as unlikely as it may
seem. The panic and lack of closure for the parents is also
incomprehensible. I didn't want to see the truth that my niece was gone,
but it was important to see her body so that my eyes could witness what
my mind could hardly imagine. These parents cannot even have that shred
of certainty right now because of the investigation.
When
President Obama said, "They had their whole lives ahead of them," I
lost it. That is what lingers with you-the senselessness of the action
that took all those milestones from them.
For all those out there grieving, comfort will come, but we will never forget this tragedy.
