• To the poor souls who witnessed it and committed suicide because of it. 
• To the families that lost a parent, an uncle, a sibling, a grandchild, a friend.

• To the courageous men and women who continue to stand strong and laugh in the face of tragedy.

I admire you.

They are the bravest and most amazing people, just for being able to get up in the morning and keep going. They deserve nothing but respect and love, especially today of all days.

R.I.P. To all 2,996 lives we lost. You will never be forgotten.
