Paris Crisis

“We are all part of something, even in war and in love, pray for those who were chosen at war and those who lost their war.”

On Friday the 13th, of November 2015,  the world stood still once again. While I was at home, laying in bed on my phone, my  phone began getting alerts from various news sources relating the worst news. There had been a terrorist attack in Paris. A  number of those critically injured continued to grow and the world held its breath. By midnight that night the amount of deaths was well over 100 and there were over 300 men and women badly injured. Throughout the night, people from around the world stood in respect and sorrow with the French, using hashtags like #PrayForParis and #SolidarityWithParis. Countries showed their respect with the French by lighting up famous locations such as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Christ the Redeemer, and the Sydney Opera House, in blue, white, and red  the colors of the French flag. In Toronto Ontario the CN tower was also lit up red blue and white in honor of Paris. The attack on Paris was heartbreaking to everyone. Paris and the family's who lost loved ones, and who had been affected by this tragedy will continue to be in my prayers.
