I write with a heavy heart tonight. 

The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida has just occurred. Innocent people’s lives taken, mothers forced to contemplate life without their sons. My heart breaks.

I don’t know if its because I have been away from the kids for the weekend, or if I am just sick of hearing about incidents like theses, but I can’t seem to calm my mind tonight. 

America is a place I love to visit. I was there 3 weeks ago, Florida is where we next hope to holiday as a family. How can I take my family into a place where innocent people can be shot in the street, in the shopping centre, in their school, whilst enjoying a night out? How many people have to die before they take guns off the street?

My thoughts and prayers go to the wounded, the families of everyone effected and to the absolute idiots who insist on allowing it to continue, I hope they also are not sleeping tonight.
