Happy Saturday.....................
The only way to conquer all the hate and violence in this world is to spread love, love and yet more love.
"
I
was shown how fragile life was on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders’
faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was
reminded that we don’t know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or
where we will breathe our last breath. For one man, it was in the middle of a
busy food court on a Saturday evening.
I
say all the time that every moment we have to live our life is a blessing. So
often I have found myself taking it for granted. Every hug from a family member.
Every laugh we share with friends. Even the times of solitude are all blessings.
Every second of every day is a gift. After Saturday evening, I know I truly
understand how blessed I am for each second I am given.
I
feel like I am overreacting about what I experienced. But I can’t help but be
thankful for whatever caused me to make the choices that I made that day. My
mind keeps replaying what I saw over in my head. I hope the victims make a full
recovery. I wish I could shake this odd feeling from my chest. The feeling
that’s reminding me how blessed I am. The same feeling that made me leave the
Eaton Center. The feeling that may have potentially saved my life.

— Jessica Redfield (real last name: Ghawi) was shot and
killed last night at a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ along with
11 others when a gunman opened fire in a theater. The above is from her
blog, written in June, after she narrowly escaped another senseless
shooting at a mall in Toronto. (vianewsweek)
