@sullivan - It makes you wonder why it takes a tragedy to bring out the best in us Paul? If we had this kind of compassion for each other every day, maybe the madness would stop.

@kalexa - It is Kalexa! As I said to Paul, if we had this kind of compassion for each other every day, maybe the madness would stop.

@dmdfday - Thank you very much Diane!! I was going to enter is last night in my camera club's competition, but I couldn't get it to print right. The theme was "editing" and there were to categories, basic and advanced. The photo has to be 8x10 and mounted and matted to 11x14. My printer kept printing in too small to fit the matte. Bummer!

Lyn
so moving. . .it is still as heartbreaking as it was on the day of the tragedy; just hearing of the kids starting back to school today at a new building tore at me.
