Paris Attacks

Its been all over the news and is something that everybody is talking about. What got me most about these attacks is a husband who lost his wife in the attack at the Bataclan. On a post he put on Facebook he explains how ' On Friday evening you stole the life of an exceptional person, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hatred'. This really touched me to see this man who must of being going through a pain that is unimaginable to me but he still refuses to give these people what they want. Many peoples reactions on social media were the same and retaliated, which is exactly what these people want. However this man didn't and he refused to give in to them which I think shows what an incredible man he is to be able to do that.

He goes on to explain how him and his son will continue with their lives and will not live in fear of them because that is exactly what they want and he will refuse to give them it. 'Then we are going to play like every other day and all his life this little boy will be happy and free. Because you will never have his hatred either' the man goes on to talk about his son and how although they have taken his mother, he will not hate them because that means that they have won.

How a man who has just lost his wife has the strength to do something like this I do no know, I certainly could never do it. The bravery that this man has to say that he will not hate them is amazing to me. Everything he says is true and we should not give into what these people want, they will not take our freedom away from us. What happens next? We don't get to go up to London at Christmas time out of fear that something may happen. If we all lived our lives in fear then we are letting these people win and we can not allow this to happen. Don't give them what they want, that only fuels their cause.

This mans tribute to his wife is heart breaking and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and all of those who lost someone in the Paris Attacks.
