Nothing to say. It’s difficult to comprehend, it’s difficult to not let that pain go so deep that it won’t come back out. Someone’s boyfriend said that he wants everyone to remember his girlfriend’s name–not the killer’s–but we all know that the opposite will happen.

Thanks, singlecell, I do. And I know if she’d been there, she’d have been the first to try to take him down. Regardless of the cost to herself. And it’s hard for me to know that. But she is who she is.

It’s an incomprehensible thing. I’ve been trying to figure out how to write about it, myself. Sweet Kelsea was eloquent in her post. You’ve got a good girl, there.

As you say…no words can express the fear or grief.

Thank you, Leah – yes, prayers are needed. Something like this is far-reaching in our lives and consciousness.

I thought of you when I heard the news this morning. A friend of mine is in Aurora but said on facebook that she and her husband were home in bed. My heart aches for those who lost their life in total terror and I’m so happy you and your daughter and friends are safe and sound. I also ache about Columbine. I remember watching it unfold live on TV and it just affected me in a way that silences me when I think about it to this day.
Again, so glad you all are okay. I join you in prayer for those involved.

I couldn’t believe the news when I heard this morning. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. Such mindless violence is so shocking. I was still in Colorado when Columbine happened. I can’t believe another shooting has marred a place that I love and miss.
