Death...

Sometimes it is so hard to comprehend. One moment a child can be playing and the next you hear that child has been brutally murdered. That is what happened in our town last night. A man,(a huge man) beat, strangled, and did unspeakable things to a little girl. Afterwards, like she was trash, dumped her. Sick, just sick.
We went to the vigil tonight. All types of people just standing there. Out of love, everyone was there.
Now, as we were walking towards everyone, a thought came to my mind. Oh my, That man is going to die. Just by looking at the motorcyles, cars, and people upon people I thought Lord he needs you. Yes, he did the unspeakable but remember, God created him. He has a mom and dad, family. Someone loves him or did love him. Only God can take care of him now.
The girls took 2 roses to put down on the rememberence (sp?) pile. I could not look up at the other little girls standing there. They must have been her friends and neighbors. One was crying. I did not want to look into their innocent eyes.
Ana and Katie know what happened. Katie does not seem to understand. as much as Ana. Ana on the other hand, has been asking all kinds of questions. She wanted to know if we would think of her if she would die. I hope she sleeps ok tonight. I honestly do not know if I will sleep well at all.
Honestly, it has been a weird day. Even the young lady at the deli we visited said the same thing. Police cars, news reporters, no one could seem to relax.

This day needs to be done.
