Today, two family's buried the kids. One funeral was about 4 blocks from where my wife works, roads were closed, the Governor was there. With the weather being cold and rainy it sure set the tone how the whole state feels and how maybe the country feels.
I surveyed a parcel not to far from the school, and I'd wave to the kids as they drove by on the bus, some kids would crane their necks to see what I was doing. I have no idea if any of the kids I waved to were the ones killed, I sure hope not.
Gonna be a rough few weeks/months/years. I have some acquaintances that have friends that lost their kids on Friday, but nobody I know personally....although I feel like I know them all.
My wife went to Va. Tech and is now principal of the elementary school our daughter attends kindergarten. That whole shooting hit home for us. You are not alone in your feelings.
:'( :u:
I try not to comment too much about this tragedy because it makes me ill to my stomach and makes my heart hurt beyond what I can explain in words. I found out a friend of mines little cousin was one of the little kids killed...she is devastated and as much as I want too and feel the need too, there's nothing I CAN do to take away her pain and agony. I hate it. If there was a way, I'd take away everyone's pain and suffering and make them all happy again.
I don't know why, but this song keeps popping in my head. :love:
