Another Colorado School Tragedy

Our communities here in Colorado are dealing with the Platte Canyon High School tragedy the day after a gunman entered the Bailey High School and traumatized six female students, then shot 16 year old junior Emily Keyes who later died, then shot himself.

Bailey is a wonderful small community that's just past the foothills of Denver, about 40 minutes away from Columbine High School in Littleton / Jefferson County. I can't imagine this type of tragedy happening to this awesome little town. Why here? I'm so sorry for the kids that have to deal with this. I heard one story today about a girl that has been doing home school and just yesterday her family decided to allow here to go to public school. This was her first day in Public School!

My heart goes out to the family of Emily Keyes and the families of other students that have been affected by this senseless act. Also my thoughts and prayers are for those who were first responders such as the SWAT team and other team members, many who were also respondents to the Columbine High School tragedy!

Make sure we all tell our children and loved ones every day how much we appreciate and love them. You never know what will happen when you start your day. But let's not fear, but try harder to have a solid foundation of love and trust in our homes so our children will have confidence inspite of the ugly things that can happen. I believe this world is still full of wonder and we can find happiness and peace, but we have to take that concious effort which starts with each one of us in our homes.

God Bless
