I am relatively new to the board so it is not like I know any of you well. However, I am so devastated about this horrendous, horrible attack as everyone is. I don't think I have been so affected by anything like this in my life. I think as we all get older and have children, you certainly become much more aware of your own mortality. I can't help but keep thinking of all the mothers and children never to see each other again. Spouses, co-workers, acquaintances, friends family, even people we have no idea whom they are. Just wiped off the face of the earth in an instant. How does one begin to try to explain this to our children? I just felt compelled to offer my prayers and my thoughts to anyone on this board whom has been personally affected by this vicous act and for that matter, to everyone. God help us and bless us all!
