This has to be in the top 5 most horrific days of my whole life. There was a shooting at the middle school where my grandaughter goes this morning. She is fine. 2 kids were shot , one in the face, then the coach took down the gunman, a 6th grader,who hid a full sized shotgun in his instrument case. For 2 hours, all we knew was that there was a shooter at BMS and students had been shot, no names or numbers, those were the 2 worst hours of my life, wondering and praying that it wasnt Jayden Marie, and praying for whoever it was and their parents, my son and daughter in law,please God keep them strong...then we find out that shes ok. Then we dont feel better because someones kids got shot and their parents are going through hell right now. Well, I made it through this day, finally, and never even thought about a smoke, this tells me Im really done for life.I already knew it, but this made it doubt free. Please keep the students and parents of Berrendo Middle School in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

Prayers going up now.  Mary I cannot imagine how stressful this must be.  Proud of you that you never even had any thoughts of a sickorette, which we know would not help anything.

Hugs and prayers for you my friend,

Mary, I cannot even imagine how the parents of the shooter feels! I think it would hurt me more to think my own child could do something that horrible. I will pray for all those affected by this.

Oh, Mary!

We heard about this on the news, but your blog makes it personal!  

Prayers going up for those who were injured and their familities.  May God guide the doctors as they work to save their lives, and may he look over their parents as they must endure the unendurable.

It is wonderful that you never turned to cigarettes during this most stressful time.  Good for YOU!

Dear Mary,

I got home from work just a little while ago and saw it on the news. How sad but I am thankful that your grandchildren are fine. My prayers are for all the children and families in your community, and I hope the children who were hurt will have a speedy recovery.

Mary, I can't imagine the anguish.  I have six grandkids, 4 attend school, and I can only say  this situation has to have been the most fearful thing for you. I am so sorry for your community and for the children and families directly affected.

Our prayers now have a more personal feeling since you shared this.

God bless you.

It just sickens me to hear about this plus other schools in the past. Our schools should be a safe place and yet something like this happens. I am glad your family is ok and praying for the other families that are involved.

I have to agree with the others, this is happening to much. I have grandchildren about the same age, I can only imagine what you are going thru. You are in my prayers along with the parents of the injured and the injured too. Why is this happening in America, I don't understand. I'm proud of you for kepping your quit, you must be one strong lady

So sorry...glad your kids are ok.     I can't imagine what goes on in someone's head that they can do this.    I hadn't heard anything but then had no news on today.

Prayers for all involved.

Mary,

I had heard of this shooting. I can only imagine the terror yourself and all others involved experienced.

And now, this shooting will likely continue to haunt many.

So tragic! 😞
