2 posts in one day?? Remembering Columbine....

Hello,

    Just had something I wanted to write, but please also look @ my other post too.  10 years ago today there was a national tragedy,  but even more so a personal one for those @ Columbine High school.  I will not forget that day.  I will not forget the pain I felt for those students and their families.  I will not forgot that they were, and are the same age as me.  I will not forget the tears I shed over their personal loss, and how impacted me, it was then that I came to understand the importantance of love and compassion, even today as I think upon what happened my heart aches, even though I never met those who lost their lives, or their loved ones.   That day, and that pain I will not forget.    I remember not long after that my own high school got a threat, but thankfully, it was only a similar threat.  Mom didn't want me to go to school that day, but I did.  In fact, it was the one day I felt nearly compelled to go.  I know there have been massive school shootings since, and my heart mourns for all.  I remember though that evil will never win and God heals the broken and makes them beautiful for his name sake!  Has there been one or more tragedy that may not have touched you directly, but has touched you nonetheless?

Like Glenda said, it sure doesn't seem like it has been 10 years. We live in a dangerous world. The tragedy that touched me in my personal life is a nephew who drowned while fishing with his dad in Tenn. and they could not find his body for three days. It was so unexpected and he was young. Every time i read the paper or hear the news i can add something. Kennedys assasination, space shuttle blowing up, 911, are a few that impacted me. I enjoyed your family photos. Macy the puppy sure has been busy growing and it looks like he likes you a lot. :-) Your mom is pretty and you guys look like you could be sisters. Till he comes...Dee
