and the tragedy at Columbine High School, and hug your loved ones!


Friend of Mine
Columbine, flower bloom, tenderly I sing to you.
Columbine, roseblood red, heartbreak overflow my head.
Columbine, flower bloom.
Columbine there's hope for you.
Columbine, friend of mine.
To your gain, on the mark.
With your love, love again.
Comfort peace and sweet release come from you.
Where, it's true, I hide myself in you.
Can you still hear raging guns ending dreams of precious ones.
In God' son, hope will come, his red stain will take our pain.
Columbine, friend of mine.
Peace will come to you in time.
Columbine, friend of mine.
Turn a page, to your gain.
Keep your heart on the mark.
Comfort us with your love.
Love again.
Christ of grace attend this place we look to you.
Honor you.
Fix you in our view.
Columbine, flower bloom.
Tenderly I sing to you.
Columbine, roseblood red, heartbreak overflows my head.
Columbine, friend of mine.
Peace will come to you in time.
Columbine, friend of mine.

Hard to believe it's been 4 years!

Time sure has flown! That hit a bit closer to home than other national tragedies. I was a senior in high school at the time, and the school I attended was really not so different from Columbine.

Such a sad day that was

What a tragedy to have happened. Seems like only yesterday that it did.

 

[JohnTBap]

A testament to the power of the bully.

That was such a tragic day. I guess we often take it for granted that our kids are safe when we send them to school.

Excellant reminder. How often we forget things. It doenst seem like 4 yrs ago. That was a real sad event that should remind us how quickly life can be taken away.

 

[Debi]

klombar, you're right, it doesn't seem like 4 years. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims.

I was a junior in high school at the time -- it really doesn't seem so long ago. The high school I went to was very similar to Columbine, and the whole incident really affected a lot of people I went to school with.

Edited to add that Saturday was also the Eighth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. That one really seems like only yesterday, but that's probably because it was so close to home.

I was parked about 3 blocks from Columbine during the killings. I had an employee who was looking for her son.

It seems like yesterday

It is so sad, and I too can't believe it has been 4 years. I just remember crying and crying and crying while watching the events unfold on the tv. Prayers to all of those affected by this horrific tragedy.
