Dear Mr. President

On the 26^th of June, you visited Colorado Springs after a wildfire ravaged our community.

     You expressed your concern.

     You met with the families who had suffered loss.

     You provided words of encouragement.

     You offered a message of hope.

     You assured everyone that you, and the people of our nation, care.

Not even a month has passed since that visit and, once again, you were back in our state. This time you were in Aurora where people who planned an evening of enjoyment at a theater were traumatized, injured, and killed. While there:

     You expressed your concern.

     You met with families who had lost loved ones.

     You went to seven hospitals to visit the wounded.

     You quoted Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

     You provided words of encouragement.

     You offered a message of hope.

     You assured everyone that you, and the people of our nation, care.

Mr. President, thank you for responding to the tragedies that have brought heartbreak to so many people in the state of Colorado. But the next time you come to our state, I hope it will be for a campaign speech, or to present your new positive advertising blitz, or maybe even for a family vacation.

Sincerely,

Tragedy Weary Citizen

(The one longing for a more positive and unified America. The America we see when life brings calamity.)
