I’m heartbroken about all the victims but Ethan honestly hits me the hardest. My younger siblings are triplets and I could not even fathom how much pain this family is going through. My mother had 2 girls and a boy (my younger siblings) and we also used colors to tell them apart as babies. My younger sisters were dressed in pink and purple and my younger brother was dressed in blue. Now I will think and be reminded of Ethan anytime I look at his baby pictures. It also really haunts me that Ethan was likely in the wrong place at the wrong time and not likely a target of the perpetrator. It’s just so tragic and sad all around and Ethan’s story hits very close to home for me. I truly wish I could meet the family and just wrap them all in big hug ❤😢

It’s interesting the differences in how each of these sets of parents are handling all of this.

It was so shocking when this tragedy happened. But it's even more heartbreaking to see the families and knowing what they're going through. Parents should never have to outlive their children and especially in this manner.
