"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

That last panel is the best thing ever possibly.
The force is strong in Ruth – that’s some weapons-grade purposeful social situation ignoring. I know she’s written that way, but that’s still limit break territory. I doubt I’d be able to resist jumping out of the car after Sarah – possibly before.
Ruth’s good at PRETENDING she’s not noticing things.
I know I’ve only hinted at a rougher upbringing with her before, but let’s just say appearing calm is way different than BEING calm.
(You’ll notice that she’s actually narrowly focusing herself on something)
Well sure – I can’t imagine anyone being genuinely oblivious, barring someone that’s a good ways down the autism spectrum or somesuch. But even to be able to PRETEND at that level… woman’s frickin’ Yoda. I enjoy the detached observer gig myself, but I don’t think I could pull it off convincingly.
SHE’S GONE FULL MOM!
