So Incredibly Sad

 It is just sick and incredibly sad that these shooting notifications pop up on our cell phones every week, if not daily at times.  It is also crazy that we just have to scroll past them because we have become conditioned to expect this as a normal part of life.  I don’t know for certain if this is true, but I heard recently that death by gunshot is now the leading cause of death in children, surpassing cancer and car accidents.  Perhaps people should start paying more attention to all those, both youth and adults, who aren’t doing well in their lives and be more willing to offer some kindness and assistance in order to help them find more reasons to feel positive and hopeful about their lives.  Something obviously needs to change. 😢

It’s even worse than I thought.  I just heard on the news that there have been more than 230 mass shootings already this year.  This is more shootings than there have been days thus far this year.
