In the Wake of a Tragedy, Video Helps Paint a Picture of Loss, Unity, and Action

Last week sucked. Many of us woke up to the news on Sunday, June 12th to the news that a terrorist took the lives of 49 individuals in an Orlando Gay Night Club. Ben and I were shocked. This was pretty close to home for us, with family in Orlando and us both growing up in Miami and Central Florida.

Our mind couldn’t catch up to the reality that was taking place with every breaking news update. We were heartbroken. The social media posts started. Victims started having names and faces. Details of the horror surfaced. Vigils were scheduled. Funerals arranged. Legislation was attempted. And the world kept moving.

I can vouch for that because I reached for my phone on no less than three separate occasions while writing this paragraph.
