I pray for peace for his wife, children, friends, and loved ones. Their guilt and loss will be difficult and I pray that there are people in their lives who can stand with them and let them know that they are not alone and that there still is hope. I pray that we all find courage to face reality when it seems like there are no options and we make decisions that limit our future options rather than increase them. Despair is a terribly empty feeling. The thought that no matter what you do, nothing good can happen. I pray that we all are able to fight despair when it come for us.

Hug your kids, your dogs, cats, someone you love, or all of the above. Be safe.
