today was surreal

Upon my 21st birthday I went on a month-long solo European vacation. One of the first places I went to was Notre Dame.

When I got there I was told that earlier that morning someone had jumped off the roof. Did it close? No. In fact church went on like it had since the 12th century.

Something tells me they will rebuild, improve it tastefully, and celebrate life and loss as only the French can.
