Yesterday marked a week since the tragic Vegas shooting. My family and I were able to head out for a small trip while my dad took care of business. We arrived around 5:00pm to the famous Vegas sign where crosses and memories signs were in honor of the victims. 58 people lost their lives during that tragedy, many more injured. Although the shooter has been caught the heartbreak has not been eased. The many people that were there yesterday were families of the victims, to visitors, to Miss Nevada. Seeing all the people there, some were walking, taking pictures, and some were even worshipping. It’s always times like this that everyone unites. It was hard to walk around and see the place that just a week ago held so much pain and confusion. Everywhere you walked, you could feel the pain of the incident. From where the sign was, you could see the Mandalay Bay hotel. It is so hard to think of what had been going through that man’s mind while being up there. What evil he had inside of him to open fire on innocent people just trying to enjoy some live music. The unity during the concert and while the shootings happened is just too much to think of. My heart aches for those who were there. The fear of dying being upon everyone there must have been traumatizing. I can’t imagine what they went through. I commend those who were able to help out during the time. I still see videos of people carrying wounded on the barriers and trying to get them to safety. I am thankful for those in law enforcement who spent long hours treating and protecting those who were there. The pain of this incident will continue for sometime, but we as a nation will heal. As United Nation we will rise back up from this. During this time we find that we are united as a people and we will not let this break us, we will stand tall, we will be strong. #VegasStrong
