10 years ago today was the columbine massacre. I had a whole journal written out about it, what cowards those boys were, what the times were like and how even in my little town in Canada people like myself who would never think of harming anyone where suddenly suspect of everything, how others tried to capitalize and make a name for themselves by dawning trench coats. Mostly I wanted to tell how sick I felt that I was compared to people like that and how hurt I was when people I had known for years turned there back on me out of petty fear.

But I can't. I can't put into words what that time was like.

So I am just going to ask that people take the time to remember what happened, to pay attention to your children and if something seems wrong talk to them, don't just judge and demand... actually talk to them. And above all please love your children no matter who they are.
