Life is Precious...

Last night at about 9, my little sisters were over hanging out at the apartment when one of them said "There was a shooting at LA Fitness, isn't that where Maria goes?" Immediately I started searching the internet for news on what happened.

Moments later, I found some very obscure details on the shootings that happened literally in my back yard. I started furiously texting all the people I know who go to the gym- Maria(roomie), my little brother and a very close friend/mother figure in my life. Thankfully, all of those people were alright, but it really made me think about things.

It's one of those days where I think i'll always remember where I was, and what I was doing when it happened. Its so sad- what people are capable of doing to other people. I got a chance to read through the blog of the killer before it was taken off line. It was thoroughly disturbing and eye-opening. I can't even begin to imagine what would cause someone to kill innocent people, or any people for that matter.

All I can say is that I am SO THANKFUL that all those I know are okay and unharmed. My heart goes out to the families of the victims, and I can only hope that at the least, everyone who hears about this story appreciates life just a little bit more. That we all will tell those who are important to us how much we love them. That we won't let this tragedy crush our spirits. That we will take what the killer meant for evil and somehow turn it around for good.
