Each and every one of these deaths touches MANY lives. We see the numbers, but there are names behind each number. And there are families and friends behind each number. Read the comments on the post I did on Shaun Blue. I am in awe of the many people’s lives this remarkable young man touched. And I wish we’d hear SOMETHING about them in the news. All we hear are the numbers. And they are, each and every one of them, so much more than a number!
