Without regard for their own safety in many cases, people just acted out of instinct to help and to heal.

Posted by: | April 16th, 2013 | 1 comment

My oldest daughter was just starting to think about college when a gunman killed 32 people at Virginia Tech. Soon after there were shootings in Crandon, Wisconsin, an idyllic little town where my family has spent almost every family vacation since my children were born, and at our own Unitarian church in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2008. And then Tucson…and Colorado, which I heard about on Facebook when a friend posted that her daughters had been in the theater next door to the shooting. One of their party had been shot in the arm through the wall, but everyone was going to be OK. View Full Post
