My last Colorado home was in the Columbine School District. This issue of school violence touches the lives of everyone when it happens .... and for those that were in the close proximity of it, it is felt so keenly. I have an adopted family that lives in this area ... and they have children in a school within a short distance of MPHS that also were caught in the lock down. That is how I came to read this article. Bless you for writing it and for sharing it.

I pray for all of you to find understanding and peace. Do not let this to take away from who you are and who you will become. Instead let this tragedy move you forward, taking with you the knowledge that when we make decisions and take action that those said actions affect everyone around us. Be aware of the pain others carry and help them if it is in your power to do so. Love strongly! Hold each other tight! And know that you are loved!<br />Sending Love and Strength from Florida.
