Sad kind of day

The thing about sad events is that you never think they'll be close to you. You hear of them in distant places, or even not-so-distant places and still think, nah that'll never happen here. But this morning, such an event happened here. The high school near my house, where my YW go to, had a stabbing this morning. Luckily, nobody was seriously injured, but what a terrifying thing for them to go through. I heard about it right as I was getting to school, and immediately sent every YW a text, finding out if they were safe. Thankfully they all were, but this will for sure be something that sticks in their heads and hearts for a long time. I'm hoping they can all heal, and can get past this horrible event.
