Waking up to horrible news

***I actually wrote this yesterday (8/4).  I was so "out of it" that I forgot to hit publish when I finished.

Catherine had to work at 9:00 this morning.  We were going to church at 10, so most of us were up and moving at 8:00.  After showering, I came out to check emails and other information, and that was when I was greeted with the horrible news of the mass shooting in Dayton.  Honestly, I just can't process this.  It has come at the end of a really challenging couple of weeks for our family overall.  Everyone is pretty much okay, but it's been a stressful and emotional couple of weeks.  I just can't absorb all of this.  This shooting occurred at a place that I have been.  Not often, but I've been there.  Andrew frequented there a lot in college.  While I am grateful I didn't know any of the victims, my prayers go to those who did.  Prayers aren't going to fix this though, but that is another post.  I am too overwhelmed right now.
