I had planned to keep my journal upbeat and funny, but life caught up with that plan today.

My heart breaks. For the children and for the parents. For all the neighbors who fear a predator stalks their steps. For the community that must suffer a vulture-like press roosting and feeding on their fear and pain. For the police officers that must investigate the horror and break the news to the families.

But most of all for the parents, families and friends. All their friends in school that must at such a young age make sense of the insane.

My prayers for comfort, for resolution, for safety and for justice.

Blessings.
