I am shocked, appalled, and deeply saddened. With two precious children of my own, fear gripped my heart sending each of them off to school not knowing if tragedy would strike here. You just never know. I breathe a sigh of relief each day I see them step off their buses and run into my waiting arms. My heart and prayers go out to the parents that were robbed of this. It is beyond awful. When will someone step up to the plate and make laws that would prevent a tragedy like this ever happening again? The sad part is that things like this will continue as the world continues to spiral out of control. The scary part is tragedy could strike any of us, anywhere. Other nut jobs will step up to the plate and have their own killing spree so they can have their one moment of fame before they turn the gun on themselves.
The bottom line is we can’t live in fear. We must soldier on and hope for the best. We must pray that the families touched by this senseless tragedy find peace and that our elected officials have the balls to get tough on gun control laws so things like this cease to become frequent occurrences. This is a wake up call to our elected officials that are sitting pretty in the capital making more money than most everyone else to bicker amongst themselves getting little done. It is time to $hit and get. It is time to take action that will matter. Unless measures are taken, I fear these senseless killings will continue until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
