34. I'm so sorry you had to deal with this any day, not just today.

You're right. This is wrong, every bit of it.

I wish I could offer you more than a virtual hug, but I can't stop crying long enough to even think. I don't even know any of these people, but I'm just so sick and furious that this happened. I just keep thinking about that poor, terrified woman looking for her missing son, knowing that his boyfriend was fighting for his life in the hospital, and that they would have been sitting together. I'm just sick thinking about it. These poor families, these poor people, God, we have to make this stop.
