It's horrifyingly terrible enough, what happened yesterday, but after seeing the list of victims earlier today, a new level of horror was added for me: it was the first grade class, all the child victims being either 6 or 7.
All Thalia's age.
It's as if someone went into my own little girl's class, killed her and all but 2 of her classmates. What little I've read of the victims tells me they're mirror images of kids I see in Thalia's class every week; precious little souls, well enough along to have a strongly defined personality, but still innocent & optimistic enough to brighten the world around them. They were all just like my precious goofyhead, who has come to be the center of a life that isn't even mine any more, it's hers. They were ALL that precious to their parents. The idea that some absolute fucking MONSTER could shoot 20 of them is unfathomable.
I don't know how well I'll be able to sleep for the next few weeks.
