This weekend, my wife and I heard a tragic story about a local home health therapist that has left me wrecked.
A home health therapist is a physical therapist who travels to people's homes for their therapy sessions, when it would be difficult for the patient to get to the clinic on their own.
When she arrived at the house in a relatively dangerous part of Joliet, she was confused for someone else, shot multiple times, and killed.
At her funeral, her 1-year old child attempted to climb into the casket, in order to be with her mother.
It is the worst story I have ever heard. It left me sobbing and shaken. And I still don't know what to do with it.
My relatively amazing circumstances have left me forgetting that monstrous things still happen - just minutes from our house.
Lord, save us.
