CT Shooting

[BobP]

My niece goes to the elementary school where the shooting occurred. I couldn't get a hold of anyone in CT to find how what was going on. The not knowing part was brutal. Finally, I got in contact with my sister in NC who told me she wasn't among the victims. I pray for those who lost loved ones and for those involved who will carry this burden.

As you know Bob, I also have friends and family in the area. I have two high-school friends whom I still stay in touch with with children who live in Newtown. I'm not close enough to them to know their exact ages or school they attend. I have yet to hear from them, and have not put great effort into contacting them in fear for what may be. I don't even know what else to say. It's basically incomprehensible, and I personally choose to just pretend it's not real.

I cannot imagine what those parents are going through, as you say, it is incomprehensible.

Just learned that my friends kids do not attend sandy hook. While that's relieving to learn it doesn't really make me feel any better about the whole situation.

I have a 7 year old son (1st grade). I was up hunting when my wife phoned me the news. After weather forced us home, I sat with him in my arms and cried for the first time since he was born. Unbelievably sad situation. No words can discribe the pain in my heart I feel for the victims families.
