Yesterday was one of those days that you know won't leave you quickly. The shooting at the Aurora movie theater hit too close to home, literally. We live just about 5 minutes away from the theater and I often take my kids there to engage in a little break from reality. It's heartbreaking to think that these people went to the movies hoping to enjoy themselves, and in just a matter of minutes all those lives were forever changed; and not just theirs, but all of ours. What kind of world is it when little children are cut down and lives are cut short, just down the street from us? But this is happening ALL OVER THE WORLD! We are fortunate that these things rarely happen at our doorstep, but for so many, this is a way of life.
It's too soon for me to make much sense of this, other than to be outraged at the senselessness and irrationality of all of it, but I know that Lola would be well on her way to finding a bit of understanding in the ruins of this day.
