Toronto, any words we could offer that would attempt to delude you from the grief & pain of a tragedy so senseless & overwhelming would be weak & fruitless. Our thoughts are with those affected & their families, first responders & a beautiful, vibrant & caring city that we love.

World is becoming scarier by the second. Should never have to question whether going outside for a walk is a bad idea or not. Prayers to Toronto for real! ❤

Oh Toronto. My heart goes out to all the victims of one person’s despicable actions. Care for the injured, families and friends, if you can.
