We have been sitting here all day freaking out about the news of this horrible shooting that took place today at Va Tech. Blacksburg, Va is only an hour and a half from where I live. I've visited the VA Tech campus before. What a terrible thing to have happened. I just don't understand what's going on in this world. School used to be a safe place for our kids to go to. Now I'm so glad I don't have to send my kid to school anymore. If they aren't getting knifed or shot, they are getting blown up. All we really can do is pray for these kids and their families. So I'm asking everyone that reads my blog, I don't care what your religious beliefs are, to pray for these kids and their families and friends. This is just so horrible. I really wish people on the tv would stop picking on the police and the school officials on how they acted today as this was happening. Put yourself in their shoes, would you have done anything different only knowing what they knew at the time? I don't think so. I think they did the best that they could. It was a very traumatic experience, I'm sure and very hard to figure out how to handle things in a fast way.
