and today, we pray for Orlando.

Columbine, Virginia Tech, Tucson, Aurora, Fort Hood, Oak Creek, Newtown. How many more colleges, how many more classrooms, how many more movie theatres, how many more houses of faith, how many more shopping malls, how many street corners... how many more? How many more? Enough, enough, enough, enough. Demand a plan. Right now. As a mom, as a dad, as a friend, as a husband, as a wife, as an American. As an American. As an American. As a human being. For the children of Sandy Hook. Demand a plan. No more list of names. It's not too soon, it's too late. Now is the time, before we all know someone who loved someone on that list. No more lists, no more who they might have been. No more if we had just done something yesterday. It's time. We can do better than this. It's time. It's time. It's time for leaders to act. Demand a plan. Right now. Demand it. Enough, enough, enough.

Taken from DemandAPlan.Org and that was in 2012! Nothing has changed in 4 years. Just more senseless acts of terror. More psychopaths who take other's lives and then most of the time take their own. Big or small. It's happening every.single.day. What is the answer here? What do we do? It's hit close to home before when a college just 40 minutes from me, Northern Illinois University was terrorized with my niece in lock down inside. Orlando was my home.... is my home, away from home. I have friends who go to Pulse. I have friends who are there right now on vacation. I have family on their way. I worked at the hospital system that is caring for those still hanging on. I have friends who still do, and are on the front lines of it all. There has got to be something we can do then switch our Facebook statuses for the day, hashtag #prayforparis, #prayforchattanooga, #prayforboston, and now #prayfororlando These tragedies happen so often, the world forgets about them just as fast as they are happening. How sick is that? It's hard to keep up. I just can't even think about it. And I am very afraid of those words that I purposely made larger in the above script.
