+ Freak heartbreak +
I don't live my life in fear. But occasionally out of the blue a random act of violence will penetrate my deliberate coolness and shake me terribly. This story is the culprit this time. I made the mistake of letting my imagination wander and put myself in the scene, exiting the store with my one-year-old... Well, let's just say I'm not in a good place right now. My prayers are with her mother, and are surely far too insignificant to ease the pain she must be feeling. :(
