With two recent tragedies in Canada- the Humboldt crash and the Van incident in Toronto, thoughts came to mind. We always hear how great and wonderful and almost super human the victims were! For me I don't care about all of that. I just feel that some one's wife/husband/daughter/son/friend/mother/father- well you get the picture has died. An innocent who lost a life. Don't have to be great. Ordinary is okay. The life lost is huge regardless of the life lived. An ordinary life lived is just okay and fine to me. All the people were loved. All the people had a purpose. All the people did not deserve to die in the way they did. A face to the names of the victims hit home. A diversity of people from different backgrounds. The impact on the communities is huge too. The jobs of the first responders. Again not human but doing a very difficult job. Lives lost! How sad!

Well written Barb, no matter who the person was, they were loved by someone. My prayers go out to the families affected..
