I'm scared because Holden will be going off to college in 2 years and the fact that something like this could happen has never crossed my mind.<BR/><BR/>What's so hard is the senselessness of it all. It didn't have to happen. I'm not blaming anyone at the college, I'm blaming the shooter. He is the only one responsible for killing those people.<BR/><BR/>But, if he was going to take his own life, why didn't he start there? Why did he have to take so many down with him?<BR/><BR/>We'll never have the answers and maybe that's why this is so hard.<BR/><BR/>But, we, unlike others, will have tomorrow. And, we need to make the best of that.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-21107158931837326232007-04-20T11:48:00.000-05:002007-04-20T11:48:00.000-05:00The fear is so hard to manage, especially right no...The fear is so hard to manage, especially right now. We're all fighting the urge to live under a rock at the moment! I hate that people are so scared, that this hit so close. It certainly has changed a lot of perspectives!Kassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240604697855360206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-50371309315182053962007-04-20T10:46:00.000-05:002007-04-20T10:46:00.000-05:00Thanks Kerri,That wasn't meant to be a critism on ...Thanks Kerri,<BR/>That wasn't meant to be a critism on the OC.<BR/>Please know that I'm going about my normal routine. My perspective has just changed a little. I am using this blog for what it was created for: venting feelings.
