Feeling thankful after tragedy

I'm feeling especially thankful tonight for all those I hold dear. Four people were killed this morning by someone who ultimately shot himself this evening. I knew 2 of the victims and the shooter. They were all regular customers in the store I used to manage and they were always nice to me, even helping me lift things during my first pregnancy. Such a senseless act caused by relationship issues has left 5 families and countless people reeling in disbelief and heartache. I held my son a little tighter tonight as I got him ready for bed, made sure to call my SO and let him know how much I love him and appreciate all he does for our family, called my dad who lives a few states away just to hear his voice and let him know how much I miss him. It's so easy to take everything good in our lives for granted, not that we mean to but life is a busy thing and so many things take so much of our time and energy. Tonight I'm grateful for my family and friends and hope that I can remember to hold onto this feeling and not let it slip away so easily.

There are a lot of conflicting reports about the events that happened, but basically a man found out his girlfriend had cheated on him and shot and killed 4 people in 3 different locations before ultimately taking his own life. I'm sure more details will come out over the next few days that will hopefully shed some light in this tragedy for all the families and people affected by it, though no matter what surfaces nothing like this will ever make sense. :(
