And It All Came Crashing Down
Just got off the phone with Allen. My old sorority house burned down last night. Allen lost one of his fraternity brothers in the blaze. I’m sending out prayers to everyone……
Wife. Mommy. Lover of cookies.
RT @HonestToddler: Toddler Tip: She has a bounty of nerves underneath that "last" one. Don't worry :)

Thank you for your thougths Merrin, as well to the others who happen to come across this tragic news.
As for the group, I can’t really explain their feelings. I think that everyone is trying to deal with the fact that something so new and lively, is now a very recent memory.
Strange really. Nothing life altering has happened in my thoughts today. Pretty much how I thought I would react. Calm, taking deep breaths, and not trying to make sense of the events.
We say goodbye to the young man on Tuesday. Only in a physical sense, but with the realization that he still alive through all of us: the many he touched. Take care.
