Yesterday was hard.
All I saw when I turned on the news or look in my phone was the story of the girl on the light rail train.
It hit me hard as a mother. My daughter has ridden that same light rail train several times. This happened too close to home. It also happened a couple weeks ago but the story is just now coming out. It makes me sad to see the videos. The poor girl was so confused as a crazy person attacked her. She sat alone and cried. I wonder if she was in shock. Was she in pain? Did she know this was the end for her? So many things go through my head. She died quietly. She had plans that afternoon. She had plans for today but now her family has plans for her funeral.
Then I get home from work and turn on the tv and see that Charlie Kirk was killed. This just added to my worries and heartache. Did he know this would be his last day? No. He also had plans. His wife and children were waiting on him to get home that day.
All of this just sickens me. People have absolutely lost their minds. Today the news of both have continued. I have stayed off my phone so I do not have to see it. Things like this worry me. Make me sad and eventually make me mad. Last night I curled up into bed, covered with my weighted blanket and prayed. I will do the same tonight.
