Holocaust Shooting

Today, when I was home on my lunch hour, I heard about the tragic shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. This news sent shivers down my spine, not only because it is a terrible, senseless tragedy, but because last week my oldest granddaughter was there with other 7th and 8th graders from her school. I'm sure there were many school tours there today, as well. I know we can't protect them from everything but no one (especially a child) is ready to be exposed to this kind of senseless violence in our country. We take things like safety for granted every day. I'm so thankful that she was not there today to witness this horror. I can't wait to see her and give her a hug.
