A tragedy

Today’s tragedy instantly brings me back to the Columbine shootings in Colorado. I had recently moved to Colorado and at that time my daughter attended Columbine Elementary. I was at school at CU Boulder when I heard the news and was panicked, thinking it happened at her elementary school since they just kept saying Columbine and did not distinguish it was a high school and a different city. I had to wait to get to her school due to the distance between my school and her and it felt like forever for me to get to her. I was very relieved to hold her later that day. My heart hurts for those that won’t be able to hold their children after today’s event.

I really want to give my daughter a hug right now.
