Young people were gathered to enjoy one another's company.
They weren't hurting anyone
This could have been LJ.
This could have been Collin.
This could have been my whole family,
we all celebrated the boy's wedding in a gay bar.
Please pray for everyone touched by this barbaric tragedy.
Joining you in sending thoughts and prayers to all those who have been effected by this tragedy PK. Thank you for posting this.

It hurts the world's heart.
DeleteSo hard to understand one human being harboring so much hatred.....I add my prayers for all affected.

Prayers is all we can really do.
DeletePK when I first read this I thought of your son and prayed that he wasn't in this area at the time. What's the world coming to, it is disgusting and so frightening. All those innocent people not harming anyone, yet loosing their lives in such tragic circumstance.
ReplyDeleteSending my prayers over to these people affected.

It could have so easily happened in their city or any city. I know they'll be at the gay pride parade later this year. I appreciate your prayers.
DeleteJoining with you PK. My heart goes out to the victims their families and friends.

We're all in this together.
DeleteThere is no understanding of the hate for America and the free world in general by Islamic extremists. But it exists, and innocent people all over the world continue to be the victims. Our sadness and shock over each new attack shows how helpless we feel.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for the people who were lost this weekend, but we all better pray that free countries everywhere show the courage and conviction to stop this.

I fear we'll become used to this instead of making it better.
DeletePK,
ReplyDeleteI am in such pain as well. Prayer and hope are really all we have.

Prayers and hope will have to be enough.
DeleteI admit, I am a long time lurker, but this I have to respond to. The whole country is devastated by this tragedy. My son as well could have been in that bar had we lived in the area. Many of his friends do live in the area and work for various parks in Orlando. Some were at the club, some did lose friends that were there. The pain hits everyone but sometimes it hits just to close to home. I held tight to my son yesterday. BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD
ReplyDeleteAnon, I'm so glad you got to hold your son last night. I hugged my virtually. You and I share a fear for our sons and pray is our only real choice. They will live their lives as they see fit and we just always want them safe. I'm glad you commented.
DeleteI cannot comprehend such hatred, but it exists. So many of my friends and or loved ones could have been effected.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad.
I hate that we have to live with this fear.
DeleteThis is something I will never understand. May their memories be for a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThey won't be forgotten.
DeleteI know.
ReplyDeleteI find this so hard to understand.
ReplyDeleteSane people can't understand pure crazy.
DeleteYour words were an inspiration to us all.

You know I love my son so much.
DeleteSending loving thoughts and prayers to all the families and hoping for a more kinder, gentler, accepting world...
ReplyDeleteThanks Terps.
DeleteThe tragedy in Orlando is so incredibly sad. When will our world be one of acceptance of others' differences, kindness and love. I don't understand the despicable hatred that went on there, and goes on in many places around the world.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to all who grieve, those injured, and those that lost their lives. Many hugs and love,
