This is NOT connected to the post I wrote earlier (although that doesn't help). Today, less than two hours away from my home, was a school shooting. To say that it makes me sick to my stomach doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. They showed parents who were lined up waiting to be reunited with their children. Having experienced something much, much, MUCH less involved last week with the school bomb threat, I couldn't help but cry as I watched the video of those parents. I know that my imagination most likely doesn't even begin to come close to what those parents were feeling.
In addition, a young lady was found deceased in her dorm at the local university. She is a freshman. The spring semester has not yet begun (it resumes next week), so it most likely was just a few weeks ago that she was home celebrating the holidays with her parents. I can't even imagine receiving that phone call.
I've also learned that five teenagers from a county high school were injured in a car accident this morning. As a parent, I'll be honest, it brings the emotions front and center!
