I often become emotional and tearful over news stories involving kids and young people, even much less horrific stories than this. I can’t even imagine what I would feel if my daughter were taken from me- she just came home after 2 weeks in the hospital, during which I saw her every day, and I could barely handle that separation! I ache for all these parents and the kids who lost friends. And, for the little boy I imagine must have grown up to be the shooter. By the way, your daughter is beautiful- what a gorgeous picture!

I’m emotional too. My prayers and sympathy first go out to Hui’s victims. However as a parent of a seriously mentally ill child I have to wonder about Hui. He had no business being on a college campus. Who was paying his tuition? There were MANY redflags that he had huge mental problems and the campus offered counseling. How far back does his history of mental problems go? I’m betting childhood! Was he seeing a psychiatrist or receiving proper medications? His parents haven’t come out with a statement, of at least sympathy, as you would expect. I find that strange. Maybe we’ll learn more today.

When you are human, how could we not be affected by this? Add to that a mother’s heart, and many of us cannot help but project ourselves onto the parents involved, putting ourselves in their places. Such an unspeakable tragedy….

It’s too agonizing for me to think about, as terrible as that sounds.
I can’t understand why people keep doing things like this. He seemed so sad from these pictures too.
It’s still no reason to do something like this…
I wish people would stop hurting each other so much.
