I was nineteen when it happened and was totally traumatized by the whole thing. I couldn’t believe it. School shootings were something that happened “somewhere else”. The senseless violence came home to us that day and compromised the safety and security that I had always felt as a Montrealer. This is brought back to me every year when I see the inevitable story in the Gazette on December 6. I always stop and shed some tears for those 14 women and their families and remember how thankful I am for everything that life as given to me and my family.

Thank you for remembering the 14 women and not the one man. All too often it is his name that is mentioned in the articles or news pieces about that horrible day 20 years ago.

I remember the day like it was yesterday. I had a baby girl in my arms and cried for those women and for my daughter. Today I am reminded how angry I am at my government for dissolving the gun registry. It wasn’t perfect but it was something.

I am encouraged when I read your blog. Thank goodness for women like you.

I was 18 too, Julie, and also an early adopter of feminism. I remember for the first time ever I was truly scared about being a girl/woman in this big world. I too will never forget. Thank you.
