This cartoon about the Florida school shooting is making the internet weep.

Vancouver-based artist Pia Guerra "felt helpless" watching the news of the Parkland shooting unfold.

Then, around 6 AM, she had an idea, she told The Washington Post.

"It’s not often that an image pops in your brain and you feel a lump in your throat," she told The Post. Guerra was moved by the story of Aaron Feis, an assistant football coach and security guard at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, who died throwing himself as a human shield to protecting children from the bullets.

In an editorial cartoon she called "Hero's Welcome," Guerra paid tribute to Feis' heroism.

"Come on Mister Feis!" a little girl says. "So many of us want to meet you!"

Feis is greeted by a crowd of children and adults that Guerra drew to represent victims of mass school shootings, including the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

7. Is one way to empathy better than another??

I don't think so.......it is more important to get to empathy
I did not see it as heaven...........nonsense or not

8. Didnt see any god, angels or halos.

Just a man who was a hero and has joined the throng of school shooting victims in this country. If it evokes something else for you, that doesn’t mean it evokes that thing for everyone.

It’s a moving visual statement for people who want to remember what this is all about.

10. The worst version of hell imaginable...

Nothing.

No one to talk to, nothing to see, hear, taste, nothing.

Just LaPierre and his own thoughts for eternity.
