I have just returned from taking my son back to college.
The topic originally planned for discussion this week is going to be pushed out in respect to a family in our community who has suffered an unimaginable loss over the weekend.
Even as a professional writer, words are worthless in this situation. As the mother of a young daughter the same age, my heart has also been shattered. There is nothing that can adequately describe the depth of sorrow, the paralyzing numbness of waking up to the reconfirmed hell each morning, and the stabbing pain of grief that threatens to take breath away on a minute by minute basis.
A young, beautiful, and shining light taken far too soon, truly our loss.
Please know that my family sends our deepest and most sincere condolences and we wish your entire family the grace, strength, and courage to go forward. We, along with the rest of the community, stand with and will support you as best we can.
