I am happy ...How terribly hard that must have been. I am happy that you had a chance to say what you felt (although cautioned about your words)and while I am not thinking that any of your words - or the others' - had a good effect on that slime ball - it is good that you had a finish to this time in your life. <br /><br />Like Rain, I am also glad to know that he will get no more attention. I confess to wanting to be a fly on the wall of his cell for at least a few minutes. I'd like to know he is suffering and beginning to be sorry for his actions. Karma will be served in the end. <br /><br />All who were affected by this event have served a purpose in the world; one you would not have chosen, I'm sure, but a valuable lesson for us all, nonetheless. <br /><br />Bravo for carrying it out to the fullest. kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-33262852827130042592012-11-10T06:36:46.696-07:002012-11-10T06:36:46.696-07:00Have just read through your statement - very stron...Have just read through your statement - very strong, very powerful.

He might ...I am glad he will get no more attention. He might even someday come to regret what he did but from what I read of his demeanor at the sentencing, I don't think that day is yet here. It's a tragedy is all one can say about it but those impacted do have to go on. Fortunately he will not be back in our world. To not think of him again is the best punishment and that means no journalists going to him for interviews. Let him disappear as he seems very narcissistic as it's all about him. Our world should not care about him again.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-33122304302028602382012-11-09T10:12:59.961-07:002012-11-09T10:12:59.961-07:00Thank you for posting your entire statement - the ...Thank you for posting your entire statement - the TV sound bites just don't really tell you anything. I can only imagine how hard it was for you to be in the courtroom saying those words to him.

When a person is as removed from it as I am, it is easy to forget.<br />You have handled your struggles with such courage and dignity. I hope you really can now walk away from it. I know at least that you can walk, as can Gabby. Thank God for that.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-87638946322294421712012-11-09T01:17:26.045-07:002012-11-09T01:17:26.045-07:00Wishing you healing, comfort, peace and joy in you...Wishing you healing, comfort, peace and joy in your life as you move forward.

I had an instant sense that I knew you, a familiarity I could not explain. I was and continue to be drawn to your articulate expression of feeling - whether insightful or allowing the chaos of emotion. You have added a daily perspective which I have come to value and look forward to. Your courage today inspired me to finally speak my gratitude and admiration for the survivor and role model you have worked so very hard to become.<br />Thank you.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493529383618044864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-16159917165186927492012-11-08T22:11:22.651-07:002012-11-08T22:11:22.651-07:00I want to say something encouraging and thoughtful...I want to say something encouraging and thoughtful to you about this.

Then I saw your victim impact statement. <br /><br />My heart still aches for everyone involved. The senseless loss of life. The lives that remain and that have been altered forever. All from this senseless act of violence. Beautiful people that were doing so much in their lives. The impact of their loss will be profoundly felt for generations. The what ifs and only if will always linger. You did something wonderful that day and should be proud of who you were to Christina-Taylor. I didn't know you before this horrible event, but I consider you a friend and someone I admire so much. <br /><br />You persevered and you have tried to turn a horrific event in your life into something that is bearable (some days). I don't think it will ever get easy; so I'm not going to say that. I cannot even attempt you feel your pain. To do so, has me weeping at the loss of potential and beauty of those precious lives. <br /><br />I like yours and Mark Kelly's comments about never thinking about him again. He's taken so much from all of you. It's now time to not give him any more of your time. <br /><br />Sending much love, <br /><br /><br />Megan xxx<br />MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
