In reply to the discussion: The slaughter of innocents. [View all]BlancheSplanchnik
(20,219 posts)84. I am speechless, as I usually am in response to something like this.
I wish I had the eloquence of many who've posted here. Please know I do, I just can't put it into words too well.

This is your victory....
I hope your loved ones find the strength and support in love and friends that they will need.
