March 5, 2001...gun shots...sirens...phones ringing off the hook...hearts pounding...parents crying...wandering around the Albertson's parking lot looking for their kids, their friend's kids, any kids they know...high school students hugging, gripping each other tightly, not letting go for anything...teachers in shock, doing everything and anything they can...police, EMTs, counselors all mobilizing to be of support...a small community, Santee, changed forever...families devastated...2 dead, Randy Gordon and Brian Zucker, 13 wounded...and the reverberations of that horrible act continue to this day...
March 5, 2014...flowers are placed on the Santana High School sign in front of the school...13 years later and the grief, sorrow and pain are still present in abundance...time does not heal all things...I cry and I pray and I long for the ability to forgive but it does not come...not yet...it takes more time than it's been and I'm still angry...
