  Thanks for visiting and leaving your comment, Chris. Please let your friends know they are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry people showed up at your memorial and were worse than insensitive. I can tell that you have a great group, by following a few of you around the web all night. Those who make light of your pain need to be of no consequence. They won't listen, they won't understand. If you can, think of those all over the world who are thinking of all of you now.
  
  I am so sorry for the incredible losses your community is suffering.

  Well from your handling of posting on this I can think of at least one very large and loving community that would happily welcome you with open arms. Throughout all of this crazy sad day I've met at least 40 people who have once again renewed my faith and hope in the general pool of humanity. Seeing the concern and heartfelt love from so many total strangers is something that was perfectly timed for right when a lot of us needed it. I can't help but think that this is one of the positive things that will come out of this incredibly tragic date that so many will carry for the rest of our lives.

  I'm so sorry for the loss suffered by my friends and thier families. This was a tragic loss that shouldnt have happened. I can empathize for I have lost friends in tragic accidents and shootings and its never easy for anyone to understand the shock of these events. I cant tell you that it gets easier from here and understanding why is something we can not begin to grasp. But we have each other and thats what we have to hold onto in times like this.

  Here's a link to a pic at the candlelight vigil when we very first got there. As I find more pictures I'll link them as well.
  This picture is of Zoe and I, when we first got there as we fought the wind trying to keep the candles lit.

  Hey Chris,
  I've been following the tragedy closely too and words can't express how I am emphathising with you now that I know you have close personal ties to the situation. I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you, and you can call anytime if you want. Take care.
