Oh, and a pat on the back to the lady who is a family member of the two cousins who were shot. She made a point of telling the media that this is not about gun rights. She’s for gun rights. Dittos to her.
Well, that would have been me :)
For our family members, things turned out all right. Ashley hit the floor when shots were fired and played possum...thank God the lights were out...the perp actually stood over her and point blank fired, hitting her shoulder. She is on her way home from the hospital as we speak.
Lisa underwent surgery with a grim synopsis of some major organs potentially being hit. It turned out that upon exploration, not as bad as surmised. Yet, she still has quite a road to recovery. But she’s breathing, talking and the hospital has been just WONDERFUL toward her, her husband and parents.
But, at 3am, after we left the hospital and needed to eat, this is when it all really hit in a terrible way: in the Eat n Park where you can see the fitness club, my back was to the entrance and a woman passed through the aisle on her way to the restroom. Her husband was waiting for her up front. When the hostess approached and asked if he needed assistance, in a hoarse, shaken voice he simply said, ‘Our daughter was murdered tonight.’
I am so sorry that your family has been touched by this! Prayers for a speedy recovery by all.
So sorry about that poor couple. Your post brought tears.
Answered prayers and more to be sent....Praise God for your good news.
OMG. I cannot even imagine what you are going thru. I am so sorry. :-(
So so sad. My heart goes out to all the relatives of the murdered and the wounded.
Ahhh! You know when I saw you I was thinking “I wonder if she’s a FReeper?”. Good job with the media at a time like that.
Prayers for your loved ones recovery. Physically and mentally. What a horrible night.
