I really just can't stop thinking about this week's school shooting. Fourteen teenagers, all between the ages of 14 (same age as Thomas) and 18 (same age as Robert) lost their lives. Honestly, just typing that sentence makes me want to vomit.
And three adults were also killed. One was a football coach, just like Andrew. One was a a social studies teacher (just like Andrew) and he was also the cross country coach. He died because he unlocked his door to let some students in who had been stranded in the hallway. I know with absolutely no doubt that Andrew would have done exactly the same thing. Again, sick to my stomach.
While I love the students at our school, I am not so naive as to think it can't happen here. Two years ago, it happened at a school in our county, although gratefully no one was killed. I know that the chances are so very slim, but they aren't zero.
I just don't even know how to put all of my thoughts into words. I have so many things to write about this, but that will have to happen another time.
