Sorry, no smilies today...

Today I awake and I'm still in shock, as the whole country is. It's hard to smile or be happy when you see the results of yesterday's massacre.

You send your child to school, and they get shot... without warning... some had their pencils still in their hands.....

Teachers.... doing their job. One put herself in front of a student, catching the bullet and saving the girl.

A customer is at a car dealership to buy a car... gets shot, as does the sales man.

The big questions... why? could it have been avoided? were there signs? Will there be copy cats?.......

He was a loner, was harassed at school. His father owned weapons, legally, and they were not locked away, as the law requires.

Events like this make our own woes and problems seem so small, so unimportant, so minor.....

    After seeing pictures of the aftermath, it shocked me even more. My heart and prayers go out to these poor families affected by this tragic event. It'll take a very long time for their hearts to heal. I can't imagine having something like that happen to my child in school. Hugs.

    Why? Because sometimes there is no reason not to. For some people, this is the only way. People can break just like objects can break.

    It is sad. But I understand it.
