<p>Well, this is a sad day indeed. Our town will hold yet another memorial- several of them- to honor those in our community that were lost. Names will be read, and bells will toll, and their stories will be relived. Way too many. There is nothing harder than witnessing the hardships and the sorrow that still engulfs these families, many with young children, now 5 years older. Our community has been scared, and the passage of time has made little impact in the emptiness- especially in the missing faces that for years graced our church, our school, and our community. </p>
<p>I dread this day.</p>
