Why?

Sometimes I don't understand why, why do people do things that they do? Do they know the impact of their actions?

Last night Aaron checked his facebook and the status of a family friend stated that his parents had both died at home the night before. I had heard many a story about this couple, and the time Aaron had spent with them. We came to find out today that they were murdered in their own home. Until the truth comes to light, we can speculate as to the details, but the end result is the same. Those two wonderful people who touched so many in their community and beyond are now gone. And the ripples of this tragic event are far spread.

I wish I had a word to say to my husband, his parents who are in pain, and the community which has lost two fabulous people. Yet, right now, all I can say is, Why?
