THE LAS VEGAS TRAGEDY
On October 4, 2015, my husband, Brandon, and I attended the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. We flew out to Las Vegas a couple of days before, just seven months after we welcomed our twin boys into this world. We were eager to get away and go somewhere we could have fun and relax. When we got off the plane in Las Vegas, one of the first things we noticed was advertising for the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival. As huge country music fans, we immediately decided to buy tickets online to attend the last day of the concert. When we arrived at the concert venue, we were surrounded by hundreds of people who were all enjoying the concert. They were singing, dancing, and having the time of their lives. The energy at the concert was hard to describe, but everyone was so full of life and excitement. I remember feeling as though I didn’t want the concert to end, and I wanted to come back next year and the following years to attend this concert. I didn’t want this to
be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When the horrible news broke of the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival, I thought, “No way this is true!” My heart instantly sank, and I felt a rush of emotions — anger being one of them. As the death toll rose every time I heard an update, I felt more and more anger. I truly don’t understand why a person would want to take the lives of so many people. My heart aches for the families and loved ones affected by this horrible tragedy. I want to raise my children in a world where they feel safe and never feel the anger and heartache that many people have experienced. Sadly, this is the reality of the world we live in, but I will teach my children to live a life of happiness. I will teach them to love one another and not to be afraid or live in fear. We all have a chance to spread happiness and joy in this world, and I hope to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
