Good Morning EXers!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I have had a very bad, sad, terrible, etc........ week!

Last Saturday we had a going away party for my daughter who was leaving for college the following Tuesday. We had a HUGE turnout and things were going great! As the party was winding down and guests were leaving, an altercation broke out among a couple of the young men, several of my daughters friends. One young man was stabbed in my driveway and he later died at the hospital. I watched and prayed as EMT's gave this 20 year old boy CPR in my driveway. It was absoultely horrible, and still is. There were tons of police, ambulances, and the life flight helicoptor at my house. The boy that was arrested for the incident is also a friend of ours. Its been a very difficult week. My heart has been broken for all those involved. I have been grieving for the family of all the boys but especially the one that passed away. My family has been under alot of stress because we have concerns of trouble for us because it happened on my property. As of now, we are ok.

Two days later, I had to move my daughter to college with all of this going on. It was hard but I am happy to report that when we visited her yesterday, she was in good spirits. I think she will be ok, and it did her good to get out of town, immediately.

I just wanted to come by and let everyone know why I have been absent. Please keep us all in your prayers and when things go back to normal, if they ever do, I'll be back:)

Thanks,
Leisha
