Belated Media

(For the news which I am referencing)

To the 50 wounded and their families: I hope that you all find the medical attention needed for a quick and healthy recovery and I hope that psychologically you are not damaged beyond repair.  Seek support. Talk and listen. Do not let this single terrible event make you live a less fulfilling life; you deserve such wellness.

To the Families of the 14 deceased: I am saddened and shaken by this terrible misfortune and grieve for those innocent lives so close to you that have been lost. You have every right to be confused, mad, mournful and any other emotion that might well up. This is the most unjust loss and you have every reason to feel what you are, but while a piece from your life is gone, do not let that loss define you. Please be strong.

I wish you all most sincere condolences and hope that you can still find reasons to smile in this time of tragedy.
