It’s a sad irony that the following post was scheduled for today. A mere 41 hours after a gunman murdered 18 of my fellow Mainers.
Our beloved state is still reeling from the shock and my area is still sheltering in place. Crazy times.
My neighbor posted this on FB today.

Another child has lost another parent. It’s heartbreaking… and no state, no city, no town can ever be immune.
We thought we were.
We were wrong.
And now… my post.
Even with all the bad luck we’ve been having trying to renovate our house, there’s no place I’d rather make my home than Maine. It’s laid back, scenically beautiful, has abundant seafood and the most craft breweries per capita in the nation.
Here are a few other reasons I love it.

That’s my kind of library.

Thanks mom.

Someday I’m going to have to drive by this woman’s house and take a peek at her gardens. Judging from the amount of flowers she gives away, it must be amazing.

Halloween is right around the corner and these are some pretty impressive arachnids.

Yes sir.
That’s a spider.

So sad to hear about Mr. Ross. From what I’ve heard several of the victims attempted to stop the gunman but there’s not much you can do against an automatic weapon.

It was youth bowling night at the lanes, a 10 year old girl was grazed by a bullet. The man who organized it tried to save the children. Ours local news has non stop stories about the victims and I can’t stop tearing up.

My oldest daughter sent me video of the father of the one victim who worked at the bar. He has so much empathy and compassion. The world needs more Mainers. Oh man. I cried and cried. Just so much love to him and to all of you.

I’ve been thinking about you and all Mainers… For a Canadian New Brunswicker, Maine always feels like home and many of my friends here in NB have family there. Maine always feels safe; just like home, so I have taken this personally and my heart aches for all the people who’ve been touched by this terrible tragedy… I am really, really sorry that this has happened…xoxo 😔😔😔💕

We’ll get through it, Mainers are nothing if not resilient…. but that feeling of safety?
I don’t know.

I do. They’ve really pulled together and helped the families of the victims. And the family of the shooter as well.
