I hit some kind of bump Thursday. My car of life went flying off it and into the preceding ditch. I was mad. At myself mostly, but others too. Not there fault. I was sad. With the past, and why the hell cant I change it. I made myself sick even.
You know nobody else is going to make me stop this. I have to do it myself. I have to tell myself to stand up tall again. If I don't I will surely not make it.
My prayers go to the students, staff, and families of all those at NIU. As I sit here miles away from where it happened I cant help but realize that it has happened to us all. It can happen anyplace. Virgina, Illinois, will New York be next? I pray for all my peers tonight to. I hope they never find them self in that desperate of a situation.

I can't imagine the fear the students felt that day. Frankly, this whole thing makes me angry. As a mom, I send my kids off to school trusting that they are safe. I worry about the usual things - will they eat right, will they seek out a doctor if necessary, will they do well with their studies? Now we all have to worry about random fools with guns.
My prayers are with the families and friends who are touched by this tragedy.
You are getting some "fight" into you and I like that. Your survival mode is kicking in and you are coming out with the gloves on. Kick ass, Stef.
I never thought the shootings would happen so close to home. And, as you know, my daughter just graduated from NIU last spring. She is just in shock over everything and my heart and prayers go out to NIU and everyone affected. It's a shame when you go to school to learn and you are basically a sitting duck for some nut with a gun.
