"I think our country sinks beneath the yoke:
It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash
Is added to her wounds."

You have captured the horror, the loss, the grief, the stunning irreversible loss of that horrible day. And of course, the quote just really brings it all into focus.
I was holding it in until I got to the candles; then I lost it. All those innocent lives, gone.
Thank you!

Humanity should be about love, not hate, peace, not war, and life, not death. To embrace the good is to embrace our better selves.
