03-30-04,Just 2 years ago , my life with my husband and daughter had a pleasant rhythm to it and things were moving along nicely.
Now my daughter and I and both of our families sit here marked by the ravages of homicide.
I belong to a survivors group and every few days
new members come on and I am shaken to my very being again.
The horrible crimes perpetrated
are shocking , and we all wonder how we will survive even after the immediate pain is softened .
Now that I know the sobering statistics , and the seeming lack of justice for those killed - I can never go back to the oblivous , normal April that once was.
So I live with what I know.
And it's hard.
