Va Tech Campus lockdown

[Danzig]

i'm not an emotional person, not one who is sentimental (at least, not generally regarding humans, horses on the other hand....) or prone to tears...but this whole deal....

when they first replayed someones cell phone recording, i really thought i was going to lose it.

it is such a horrible, rotten thing to have happened. to have someone so off, so out of it, to be willing to go and do this to those poor people. it's awful.
my oldest is in connecticut, my first desire was to call him--i haven't seen him in a year. not going to see him til july, i can only imagine the gut-wrenching TERROR the parents of every v-tech student felt when they first heard the news.

there is nothing in the world scarier than having children! believe me, it's true. it doesn't get any easier when they get older, i promise you! it's very humbling. they can take you to your knees in a hurry.

it's funny, even when we go out, and it's been several years we've been able to go out sans kids. you walk thru a store (or wherever) and hear a kid yell 'mommy' and you know damn well it isn't your child, you still turn around!
