I don't know if it ever gets easier. I don't think it does. And if it did, what would that even mean?
The thing about acts of violence is that they just do not make sense. I don't care if they are meant to be a statement or to draw attention to some cause. All I see, all I hear, all I know about them is they are hurt people, and sometimes they destroy lives, and they are just not right. It's just not right. It's not right. It will never ever be right.
So let's pray for Boston and every other town and family who has been hurt by violence. Let's send them every little bit of hope that we can muster. Let's hold our loved ones a little bit closer and remember to tell them every day how much we love them. Let us all try to heal. Let us never forget.
