Op-Ed: Standing at Leibby’s Funeral
Standing at the funeral last night my mind was flooded with thoughts. There was just too much to think about, what happened is incomprehensible and it defies logic. In the midst of thousands of people who came to respect the young boy there was a collective sorrow and our hearts were at a proverbial half mast. An innocent child was literally butchered. What a nightmare. There were sobs throughout the ceremony, many coming from people who did not know the boy as the tragedy shook our innermost being and our core. Life is so precious; we know that through being a parent and a sibling, and we know that as we see youngsters grow and celebrate life. There are so many joys throughout life. But then there was this. Our heart as human beings is hurting badly.
