Sad, sad news...

[TheBajan]

I am in a numb state right now. This has nothing to do with BK but I needed to just cry on the shoulder of my 'virtual' family.

Today I got a phone call from my dearest, oldest friend. We go all the way back to childhood together. Her baby sister was shot and killed while someone stole her truck. Before I could even process this information, I got another phone call from my son. His ex-wife (I am still friends with) was stabbed to death while someone was stealing her jeep. The two cases were completely unrelated. I'm reeling in bewilderment. It seems the world is spinning out of control.

To those of you with faith, please keep my son, his step-children, and my dear friend in your prayers. I'm afraid I won't be able to take off of work to go to the funerals. Both families are located in Texas but in different parts of the state. I'm in Michigan.

Thank you all for being there for me.

OH what is this world coming to???

i'm so sorry for your loss and for the families of those that lost their loved ones. i'm just numb reading your post. it will never sink in to me how another human being can do that to another human. i will never understand it. i will be praying for all of them, plus our entire society, which is falling apart with all this anger and lack of respect for human life. it is truly a sin.

I'm just so grateful for you all... thank you so much.

How are you doing today....?

[TheBajan]

AC... thanks for asking. I'm a bit better than yesterday. I keep going from numb shock to quiet weeping and back again. It's like something you see on the news... I hate watching the news. Information keeps coming in about what happened. Amazingly, my childhood friend is keeping herself together pretty well. She has a faith to be admired.

I'll be better... thanks again for asking. Time heals all things.
