Love of a Stranger (Whitney Heichel)

On the morning of Tuesday, October 16th, the world is less than it was due to the loss of a beloved woman. I see how many lives she touched and how utterly undeserving of harm she was and am at a loss to understand how anyone could want to cause her harm. I didn’t know her personally, but like most have read about her and actually have friends who knew her and they are hurt and lost because of an animal’s covetous depravity.

I look inward and think of all the pain I have caused and lies I have told along with all the selfish acts that I have engaged in. I think that I deserve that outcome more than a woman, who by all counts was universally loved. I am not claiming that I deserve death at all, but on the karmic scale I am sure I am heavier on the universes scale that this beautiful soul.

Hold your loved ones close and hang on to what you have in your life. I am grateful that I have the chance to be with my wife and kids, but am horrified at the prospect that they would be taken from me without any warning or reason. I have experienced a family member murdered and I can tell you that there is no justice that will equate the loss that family has felt, but I do know that nothing that murderous coward could receive is even an approximation of what he deserves.

We all have to live a little more and love a little harder so that this amazing spirit is being honored. We are all lucky. Anyone who woke up this morning and told there family that they are loved is lucky to have them be with them to hear it. You are blessed.

Promise to live for those that cannot and take a piece of them with you on life’s adventures so that her soul can share the experience with you.
