Tonight, as I sit here at my computer, I am trying to think of the words to communicate the whirlwind of feelings going through me. A little girl who I never met, but in the past week has become such a huge part of our lives here in Colorado, was taken away from this world much too soon. When I heard the news today that this beautiful innocent life was gone, I felt my heart break in half. As a mother of a daughter close to her age, I cannot begin to imagine the pain Jessica's family and friends must feel right now. Pain, anger, guilt, sorrow, regret. If only. What if. Excuse my language but... they better find the fucking bastard that did this! I am angry, sorrowful, devastated. It. Is. Not. Fair. There are some who believe in God, and some who don't...in times like these, I think we all look somewhere for an answer. The only one I can think of is that this is a sign that we MUST start loving each other, instead of hating. We must accept each others differences and value one and other. Never look down on someone else...instead look out for someone else. We must take the time, MAKE the time for our children, our families, our friends. We must care for each other, learn from each other and help each other. Life is too short to do anything else.
So, I will turn off my computer now, put my work away, leave the house dirty for a few more days.... and spend the weekend celebrating life with my family and friends.
Rest in peace sweet Jessica. You will be missed.
