So sad

I wore one of my NIU sweatshirts today. I'll wear another one tomorrow. And another one the next day most likely. I have a lot of them. I have an NIU Huskie on my keychain. He's been there since Freshman year in 1984. He's actually the second Huskie, the first one wore through and fell off. I made a trip to campus just to replace him. I love my University. I grew up there. It means so much to me.

They say 6 people are dead including the gunman. The university is closed until further notice. There are no answers. I doubt there ever will be.

Mr. Incredible and I always refer to DeKalb and campus as home. If we were to lose everything, jobs, the house, the plan has always been to move back to DeKalb and start over.

I was reading the links from the NIU website to all the other colleges and universities expressing their concern, support and sympathy. The one from Virginia Tech made me cry.

I wish more than anything that this could be the last campus shooting ever. No students or faculty or staff should ever have to go through that.
