RIP

On January 23 a young man entered a day care facility for children younger than 3… We will never know what he was thinking or how terrible those 10 minutes were for everyone who was there. Two children, who hadn’t reached their first birthday and one of the carers, who had been working there for 35 years and who tried to safe the children, were stabbed and died on the premises. Other children got badly stabbed as their carers… One week later the dramatic count stops at 3 dead and 15 wounded.

The psychological wounds are uncountable: the children who can’t even talk about it as they’re too small, the carers, the parents, the policemen, the doctors and nurses…

My heart goes to them and to the parents of the agressor who was caught a few hours later. This is a nightmare for everyone.

I was happy to hold my little one a few hours later. In a very egoistic reaction, I’m relieved it happened somewhere else, but I’m saddened that it happened, and I hope I’ll be able to find some way to give this a place in my heart.

RIP dear children and M., RIP dear parents, all of you. RIP everyone. And when hou have found some peace, try to make a better world, even if it’s only one our a week… If everyone would spend one hour of his or her time doing something for someone else, then the world would be a better place for everyone.

R.I.P.
