At the time of this writing, 127 people were pronounced dead in Paris. 127 people. I find myself, someone who is often not at a loss for words and at times, verbose, struggling to write this post. I find that 127 people. Brothers, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers, Friends, Colleagues and Children. Today we look back and wonder in horror the reasons why. 127 people. 127 too many. I'll leave you with a quote, actually from a TV show. "The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight." Seldom has something truer been said. Prayers to all of you, this is a time to spend with family, friends and to remember. For one day, we hope that these things will never happen and we must all be a part of making that hope a reality. Thank you.
I mourn the loss for all of these wonderful people. I would like to say that France has vowed to punish the Islamic State for the plentiful attacks on their nation. Along with the United States and Iraq these barbaric individuals will be brought to justice. But this thread isn't for talking about the people that caused this. This is about the ones we lost. So I say this to all the families with loved ones lost even though you will probably not see this, I am deeply sorry and stay safe.
Tragic events are what doesn't make this world go round. Rest in peace to those who lost their lives doing absolutely nothing wrong.
Rarely are the nations and people in this world united as one, but this is one of those times. To France do our thoughts look, and to those who lost their lives do our prayers reside.
