I was finishing my Christmas shopping when I heard on the radio. As a father of a third grader, I just couldn’t help but imagine that happening at Hope’s school. When I got home and saw her, I grabbed her, hugged her, and cried. I find the events incomprehensible. For the life of me, I can’t imagine why anyone would do such a thing. My heart aches for the families, and even though I’m not terribly religious my prayers go out to them. I hope the gunman finds nothing but retribution in whatever afterlife awaits.
