Sorrow

I got in the pool this afternoon, because it was that, or get in trouble. And I almost drowned, because you can't swim and cry at the same time.

There is a terrible, awful tragedy that is happening in my area, and it is happening to a woman and a family who many of my good friends know well. And I can't even begin to stomach it. And I can't rationalize or justify or explain or even begin to understand how there could be anyone manning the proverbial helm when such things could happen to one family. And all day long I've found myself thinking on it, here on the eve of sending my first off to proper school. It was a hectic day, and my heart just was and is heavy. If you have good thoughts or positive energy out there to send to a family in PA who desperately needs them, they would be very, very appreciated.
