To the families and loved ones of those killed in Orlando… I am profoundly sorry.

I know that is an underwhelming response to the nightmare that started for you on Saturday, but it is all I have. I am not in a position to offer a solution and I am not smart enough to provide an answer. I just have an apology. This shouldn’t have happened. I’m sorry that your reality has been shattered and that things are so different from the way they were before. You didn’t deserve this. Nobody deserves this. Although I too have experienced great loss, I haven’t any grand words of wisdom for you about coping with this. I only have a relatively large shoulder to offer.
