Moving forward

God, this has been a crazy week. I have to write. I have to give voice to the realizations from this week. Learning through the chaos, the tragedy is the only way I know how to move forward. I have cried, I have sat in shock. Crying and dwelling does nothing for me personally in moving forward. Action does move me forward.

My family and I have had discussions. We visited the Memorial and were moved by the quiet, the gentleman who kissed the monument, the gentle politeness, the communal grief shared amongst us. We donated money in the name of the families and I want to donate more.

Writing has allowed me to ease the sorrow. What have you been feeling? Doing to move forward?
