We send our children to places of learning to help them develop their knowledge and skills for the life ahead. This applies whether our children are just starting their education or are adult children at college or university.  We never consider that rather than being a beginning this could lead to an ending.  As another college massacre occurs in the USA I have to ponder whether they will ever consider changing their gun laws. How many deaths does it take? Here in Australia our strict gun control laws now prevent such massacres , but I recall the pain and sense of loss and violation when such events occurred here prior to gun control.

My heart is heavy and my thoughts are with the parents, friends and families of those who were killed. I said it all a few years ago in another post.  I won’t labour the point now.
